Members seifukusha Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 i had that one. i got it for like $150 cause it was in the shop forever and noone wanted it (in fukuoka). they go for 300-500 or so in japan nowadays, some places higher. heavy but a lovely beautifully made paul. those vh-1 pups are sweetums. ive thought of getting another...

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 Good guitars. I've played a few of the Japanese brands like Tokai, Greco, Burny, Edwards and Orville, and Burny are right up there. The VH-1 pickups are very well rated and do sound good. Last Burny I tried was an SG, pretty thick neck, very rock indeed. Personally though, I like the Greco Les Pauls of all the Japanese models. Tried a couple of decent Tokai Love Rocks which were good but the Greco LP I used to own had better mojo. It just felt better to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spaceshot Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 I've got a burny SG. It has the long neck tenon and is built closer to original specs than my 90's Gibson SG or 00's SG classic. I bought it for questionable gigs, but would still be super pissed if someone stole it or the headstock got broken off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArrMatey Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 I got a burny SG custom that is really nice. It just needs a better setup on the G string and then the rest is amazing. I did have some prs dragon pickups lying about that i put on it and it sounds like a brighter rock guitar. Great tones and the neck feels fantastic for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArrMatey Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 NICE! It was a steal because some guy was selling that one and another gibson sg faded for about the same price and managed to talk him down because i thought this guitar would have 3 volume knobs instead of the standard two. He said it might have been badly wired and knocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
