Mid/Late 1980s RLG solid top - lemon drop :-)

[MIJvintage]

thought I would share a few pics of a very nice example of a mid/late 1980s Burny RLG solid top; best one I can recall having in my hands

nice piece of ~20 year old wood; nice one piece quarter sawn neck too

it's been seen around these parts previously but it's goin' bye bye to Pittsburgh, PA ...............

enjoy ..................

quarter sawn grain in the (one piece/no heel cap) mahogany neck

Don't rub it in....

A VERY nice guitar!! Thanx for sharing!

Don't rub it in....

wasn't attempting to rub it in; I just thought those pics came out pretty fair, and everyone loves a lemon drop

don't feel too bad; you weren't the only one with at least some bit of regret

here's what one potential buyer emailed me with, and I offered it to him first ..............


"Wow, that sold fast.
Good job.
Let me know if there are any issues with the sale--of course I slept on it and decided that in fact, I could use that guitar!"


I've got a bit of regret myself; I've had this wonderful guitar for quite some time but I'm planning to refin the top on my LS-320 in the same color so, I will have a lemon drop again, some day ...............

Just being facetious. I'm glad you sold it. Wish I had acted sooner. :wink: Yes, the pics are great.

I need a guitar like that. Plaintops are the best.

This is my current fave plain top, and it has nothing to do with the fact it has Dry Z pickups.
It would probably sound pretty good without any pickups 8)

AFA tonal response the lumber is near perfect, and the .050" tall frets make it a monster player.

The fact that it's a plain top is just a bonus

That Burny lemon drop is no slouch but I don't really miss her that much ......................

Currently have my eye on a (very) close cousin to the BLS

........ yes, the seller has done a great job of 'Copy & Paste' of my previous listing; how creative :roll: :lol: ...........

kinda curious as to why he is selling it now?
must be one of those girlfriend/wife things where the guy doesn't wear the pants ..................

Wow! A very nice one.
Is it RLG-90 or higher?

"It's an amazing guitar. I just need the money right now and I don't have any shows or anything until next year. You won't be disappointed in this guitar. It stays in tune better than any Les Paul I ever owned including historics. I'm going to regret selling it for sure." :roll: Important that a guitar stays in tune.....

So I still don't know what model it is. Is it a Burny?
How much do you want for it?

 

[cashcow]

I'm not selling it.

I'm not selling it.

ie, Cashcow is not the seller, someone else is..

it does have excellent tuning stability ; about as good as my LS-320 & my BLS-59 .............

Surely there must be other strong points about the guitar than it's ability to stay in tune.
