I just Ebayed a Burny LP Custom from Japan. The guitar is near-mint except for the tarnish on the hardware and one surprising dent on the upper edge at the back.
I opened the bridge pickup cavity. The pickup has no letters or numbers on it. There is an illegible number starting with 15 in the cavity. There is a large screw which appears to go through the tenon.
This guitar was advertised as a "long tenon" Burny, but I haven't seen any photos of pickup cavities that look like this, with trustworthy info as to the tenon. It's supposed to be late 70s/early 80s. It looks just like a Gibson. You can see the expired Ebay listing here: http://tinyurl.com/34wmrp9
Here is a photo of another guitar with the same kind of bridge pickup cavity.

My question: is this a legitimate long-tenon Burny, or did I buy a piece of Korean crap?
I sure hope my luthier can pretty up that dent. It was not shown in the Ebay photos.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
