Burny RLG-150 ???

[jacco]

Well, it should be negative if it's a 50..

 

[slapshot]

hey Antonius did you file a "not as described" claim?

 

[Antonius2]

@Slapshot; I bought this Burny on eBay 9 monts ago so it's to late for a eBay/PayPal claim.
Last week I recovered this Burny have a very hard to see 2-piece body so it has to be a RLG-50 or 60
The guitar was listed as a 1981-1982 RLG-150 or 240 Solid Birds Eyes Top

 

[slapshot]

an RLG60 is the gold top with P90s like the stripped one I posted above there.
the RLG50 is the plain top with humbuckers.
It's not hard to see though.Anyone selling would check their specs before listing anyway.
Was there any mention of the bridge issue also before purchase?

 

[Antonius2]

Excuse me, I mean the RLG-60 '59 model with the veneer flame top and not the RLG-60 '56 model.
About the bridge was nothing mentioned!

 

[slapshot]

my bad yeah that was a cpl years later than yours mid 80s they brought out the rlg60 59
in 81/2 ect the rlg60 was a 56 type
did you raise these issues with the seller?

 

[Udonitron]

There is a huge price discrepancy for sure between the two so I would raise this issue with the seller, Antonius.
I am going to re-test the lacquer on mine before I ship it to cover my ass x 2.
Tested once and it melted but just piece of mind is all...I hate disputes and want those who buy from me to be happy with an honestly described product.

 

[Udonitron]

Any news on this one?

 

[slapshot]

the silence is deafening & the obviousness is blinding

 

[Udonitron]

Well at least my Burny was tested in 3 different locations last night and confirmed 100% nitro.
I miss it already.

 

[jacco]

So, what model was yours Chris?

 

[Udonitron]

Who knows, thought we already discussed it to death & it remains a mystery?

 

[jacco]

Who knows, thought we already discussed that to death that it is a mystery?

Sonhoe did it help you to test it for nitro?
3P back, right?

I don't understand your 1st sentence there, sorry.
Why are you asking me if it is a 3 piece, you know all of this already.
Leading up to one of your debates again are we?
Get to the point

Autocorrect; sonhoe = so how
How did it help you to test yours for nitro? It didn't help you to determine the model anyway. What's the point of mentioning it here? You already knew Cliffs wasn't nitro. So what are you and Slap doing here? Found a new Rich?

If we look at yours:
26 pots. That's way into Kasuga era. No 240s made by Kasuga. Still there's 90, 150 & 240 written with a marker on the tenon (and crossed out). In all my years of looking at Burny's I have never seen marker signs on the tenon of a Kasuga Burny.
Ever occurred to you that's it's a refinished RLG-50 and the previous owner did that? What are you doing in this thread again?

Cliffs?
How did I know that?
Was it tested and mentioned here?

So mine is an RLG50 with no heel and a thicker neck then, how many of those are on your spreadsheets exactly?
Musta scraped the poly out of the pickup cavities as well I suppose but somehow saved the Z64 marked tape under that poly and put nitro over it instead since the nitro came right off to bare wood...weird?
Same goes within the control cavity.
Totally feasible man, for sure.

What am I doing in this thread?
Well one way to tell if a MIJ is a higher end model is by its finish, would you not agree?
The one here in question which was sold numerous times over was assumed to be a 150 based on the top and a one piece back along with a lacquer finish.
However all those who owned it sold it as a 1 piece when it was 2 and sold it as nitro without ever testing it.
If it had tested positive for nitro would you say it was refinished as well?
Oh and regarding the neck base comment; no way someone at the factory could have just done something different or had a reason for the marker on the neck base under the nitro....totally impossible vs an easy 2 hour refinishing job on the whole guitar, cavities and all along with repainting the control cavities with black shielding paint OVER TOP of the newly redone nitro?
OK
Sorry if some models jive with your spreadsheets man but you should stop dealing in absolutes, I am tellin ya...so much easier on your constitution.

Couldn't resist

 

[slapshot]

cool quote
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Udonitron]

Well we know there are some 1 piece back RLG50's out there so if those were refinished they could be 150s or 240s just like that.

 

[slapshot]

Antonius2 I don't think you'll be getting any answers here now.
there's a reason both mauicliff & mijlover are banned though
In case anyone couldn't already tell they were the same person.
