No maple top?

How does it sound? And what did it cost? It looks good.

No these where full Mahogany bodys, bargin price because the guitar store did not know what they had. The previous owner did swap Gibson pickups into it, its on its way from Japan now.

Very Nice!, and it has the correct lawsuit type Diamond inlay on the headstock. Got a black Burny Les Paul custom with the same headstock inlay.
Tell me!, does yours have the very small fret wire like an original vintage Gibson LP custom? My Burny does, I think it's the only thing I don't like about the guitar. I like the larger fret wire on my Burny "Super Grade" standard flametop LP better.
Nice Axe and nice score!

what do you think of your Burny (anyone out there that has one). i'm in the market for one possibly. i've seen some on ebay, but the cheaper ones i believe are made in China and from what i understand a jap model would be better. however, i really want an LP custom in antique white or cream colored and i dont see any that are jap models in that color.

my situation is that i'm trying to sell my fender telesonic and get a LP of some sort. i can't afford an actual Gibson Standard let alone custom, but Burny, Orville, Greco seem to be really good alternatives.

then there is always a Gibson LP 60's tribute. Dont know what to do right now.... Pursue the Burny or trade the guy that offered me the 60's tribute.

I had one just like that - it's one of the few guitars I regret selling. Damn it's hard to turn down a nice profit though . . .

--------I have some, and have sold MANY, MANY DOZENS of them over the years that had Maple tops. Your post is inaccurate. However, I think that you are probably thinking about the original 50's Les Paul Customs, which did not have Maple tops for the most part.............The REAL Rocker.
