So our seventeen year old is looking at this made in Japan Burny Les Paul

It is probably late 70’s early 80’s this is a R8 thicker neck as he has huge hands unlike his father. So he went played it and played a Edwards Les and Japan elitist Les Paul and he is coming back around to this burny. All three long neck tenon you know apples oranges all three are nitro finished once again apples and oranges. I personally could never tell difference between tone over a finish I mean shit were plugged into amp or a neck joint over tone.

He tells me dad it just feels right holding playing the burny , I said yes my young padawan I understand you, like early burny super grades and tokais you never run across a lame duck one the craftsmanship is impeccable.

Yet I told our son go with your heart and you know I told him burny back then the craftsmanship was superb like my tokai Les Paul they’re better than real thing after Gibby moved from Kalamazoo. So the guy is open to offers he’s asking $1150 kid has it so I said make him offer here’s hoping the guy takes it if not I know he will pay $1150 cuz he’s like his old man
