Pickup currently not available
The Burny RLC-70 is one of the standout Les Paul Custom-style models from Burny's highly regarded Japanese production era. Built in the 1990s, it delivers the classic Les Paul Custom formula with the attention to detail and consistency that helped establish Burny as one of Japan's most respected guitar manufacturers.
Constructed from mahogany with a set mahogany neck, the RLC-70 offers the rich midrange, natural sustain, and solid feel expected from a traditional Les Paul Custom. The rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface, while the Custom-style appointments give the guitar a refined and timeless aesthetic.
Finished in Ebony and paired with gold hardware, this example captures the understated elegance that made black Les Paul Customs iconic. The combination of the dark finish, bound body, and gold appointments creates a look that remains as striking today as it was when the guitar was built.
Electronics are handled by the original Burny VH-1 humbuckers, a pickup set that has earned a strong reputation among MIJ enthusiasts. Known for their balanced output and vintage-inspired voicing, VH-1s deliver warm cleans, articulate mids, and smooth overdriven tones without excessive compression. They respond exceptionally well to volume adjustments and remain versatile across a wide range of styles.
A classic Japanese-made Les Paul Custom that combines traditional looks, proven components, and decades of reliable performance.
