On the Wikipedia article for Fernandes Burny, there are some pics of headstock variations. Apparently there are a few different variations from that time. I have seen some of the new ones with tree screw truss rod covers, but they are shaped differently and don't have anything written on them. I think it is likely this was one made during that period. I am not sure when they started making them elsewhere. So I still believe it is a Japanese made Burny. The logo on the headstock matches the 80s models closely enough. I read that in the late 80s-early 90's, Gibson was on their backs, so they had to change the headstock and truss rod covers. I did a bit more digging on the web and saw a site that detailed the differences in headstocks and truss rod covers. I dont play much in the way of rock, so that suits me just fine. Its very classy, doesn't have the same heavy rock vibe that red and black SG's seem to have IMO. I think out of any style of SG, this look is my favourite.
All seemingly original except for grover tuners.
It's a got a walnut brown brown body and neck with a small black pickguard. I am not a huge Gibson fan or anything, but this guitar just looked so pretty they are generally the best ones in my price range and I love 'em. If I get a vintage guitar, it's gotta be 80's MIJ. I am likely to sell my Kay Vanguard as I don't really play it, kinda over the OLD guitar thing. A couple of real cheapies (we are talking under $100 AUD), but they are just mess about Stratocaster copies and don't count I just have too many Telecasters and not much variation at the moment. Probably will sell a couple guitars which is likely to include a Telecaster, possibly my 50's classic. Came across it on my daily rounds and as much as I resisted, I caved and bought it. I have heard wonderful things about the older Japanese copies, this brand in particular. So it's a Fernandes Burny SG copy from the 80's. Now I am waiting for it to arrive in the next week or so. Ok, so I haven't actually got it yet, ordered it off eBay.
