Members _pete_ Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 Burny makes an LP with a Floyd. There's also the Agile AL-3100 and AL-2000 that have Floyds. Burny: Agile: That's about it unless you rout one out yourself or drop the cash for a Les Paul Axcess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B Money Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 There's the Tuscany Rush Custom. I just got one of these; it's fun, but nowhere near the quality of an Edwards. Epiphone made a run of Les Pauls with Floyds a few years ago. If I were you, I'd either go for the Burny, or save up and get an Axcess. They kick ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members B Money Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 Valveampusa They were the US dealer last year. The distributor blew out his remaining stock for $249, so I figured I would give it a try.The design is pretty solid, lots of similarity to the Axcess: thinner body, tummy cut, slighty contoured heel, Floyd trem. It's really light, almost too light for me. Build quality is decent, especially for a guitar made in Vietnam. Pickups are suprisingly good actually. It's not great, feels "cheap", and it needs some tweaking to make it play up to it's potential. For a $250 beater, it's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 That's a good question..(with a couple good answers so far) I can't offer much but I look a lot and have never seen any of the older MIJ copies like greco, tokai or orville...with them.

Members headless Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 There's a guy on the local craigslist who for the last couple of months has been hawking various copies that he says are made in Korean (which makes me think they are made in China, but I'm cynical). This weeks ads are featuring LP Axcess copies. I'll reproduce the ad, for posterity: http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/msg/1575634448.html FLOYD ROSE, L P Axcess copy!! - $400 Awesome Les Paul Copy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Antique Burst Flame Top! - Cherry Sunburst Flame Top! - Silver Burst! - Trans Black Flame Top! - Blue Flame Top! LES PAUL AXCESS copies with Licensed Floyd Rose Bridges Correct headstock, Block inlays starting at the first fret, quality hardware and beautiful finishes!! These are not lightweight copies, but a full 8 pounds!! Korean Imported. $400??? Seems a bit steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there may be a new US dealer. Hey, if you ever want to sell that, hit me up. I'm most likely gonna be selling off what i have except the Axcess and the PRS. One of those would fill the void a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members benzem Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 That's a good question..(with a couple good answers so far) I can't offer much but I look a lot and have never seen any of the older MIJ copies like greco, tokai or orville...with them. They are very rare. Never seen a greco or tokai. Burny made one circa 83' w/factory floyd. Didn't bid on the one I have seen on ebay and I regret it. It was all stock cept bridge pup. Custom, black, ebony, all gold hardware, BEAUTIFUL. The seller even posted a demo vid. I have not seen another since. The new fernandes/burny have floyd models and sustainer pups. Have not tried, I have had best luck with 80's mij models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 9841507 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yeah that burny is beautiful. Don't know if there is anywhere to buy them outside the UK though, ebay has a couple UK only listings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 Well that's the thing with MIJ...you never know what's going to pop up. They really have made and make A LOT of guitars. So who knows what's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bengerm77 Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 I would look into getting a kahler on an LP. Is that a realistic option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gibson is 100% better in every regard! It would make a nice backup guitar. Might be a good candidate for a sustainer also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
