Just means the owner was a heavy smoker and you will need to clean her well is all

P.S. Slap

You're an asshole

Ok here we go! A pending NGD post and my first Burny. Thanks to Udo who pointed me in the right direction

Nice Gammy, you'll love the Burny's

 

[JDB]

Maaan! sssssht!!!!

OK a weeks up what happened

 

[GammyBird]

Nice Gammy, you'll love the Burny's

Thanks...I'm really looking forward to getting it. See what all the fuss is about

 

[Ohjay]

So, gurus...

I've got an opportunity to trade for a Burny 335, supposedly from 1982.
What's the ballpark value of a thing like that?
Also, is there a way to get a general idea of year without looking in pup cavities?
(no, no images, yet at least)

 

[Udonitron]

Considering not being able to see much a good chance of identifying, and this is just my observation via owning and noticing differences, late vs early 80's Burny's is the headstock shape.
I have found all the later 80's I have seen and owned have more pronounced horns and a mellower open book hump and have a slightly longer profile.
The earlier 80's had the opposite and this holds true for the early 80's I have owned and seen.
Might help a bit perhaps?

The left is my 82 and the right was my 87 RLG-70

 

[Ohjay]

Yeah, that should help a lot. Thanks Udo.

Ballpark value if it is an '82 in good nick?

 

[snaredrum]

here's another later '80s-early '90s burny headstock

 

[JDB]

Hey Ohjay ,If its an early Burny I have no doubt you'll be happy, great guitars like the Aria's.

Out of 16 guitars my favourite 7 would be 2 Burny, 2 Aria proll, 2 greco and 1 other. The funny thing is I only own 3 Burny and 2 Arias.
So the odds are pretty good.

 

[slapshot]

i'll tell you tomorrow if veneer top burnys are any good ....

 

[slapshot]

they sound pretty good

but this chunk of hammered shit sounds better

 

[Udonitron]

Talking about your hairy banjo again?

 

[GammyBird]

i'll tell you tomorrow if veneer top burnys are any good ....

Gonna get the pooch to open the boxes for you?

 

[slapshot]

nah can't trust him with a knife

is this crazy looking thing a Burny pickup?

 

[nwobhm]

Probably, If the solder isn't broken. Looks alot like those Gibson tarback pickups that came out in the 70's. My FLG90 L8001's have T-top looking bobbins but, there not exactly.

 

[slapshot]

yeah original solder on the neck pickup
i guess the question's is it an L-104 pickup?

 

[o0mobius0o]

Urethane potted like mine.
