NGD There she goes again

Jez6345789

In some ways, in terms of a new guitar day, this will be a bit of a non-event for readers here as you have all seen it with this one time after time. I want to tell the tale if for no reason other than to thank @flyingv ;for his patience and all-round good guy for allowing this golden siren into my world.

She has certainly been a siren for my GAS and when I first saw her up for sale a few years back. I searched for another played slight relic Burny Goldtop all to no avail.

I sold all my Japanese Les Pauls nearly 7 years ago now and regret letting my  Burny go. So have been gradually adding back in Japanese Les Paul.

I missed her being listed and sold here three times, which is just plain annoying for a forum I look at most days but somehow missed the classifieds immediately she was listed and missed out.

After I missed the last sale I reached out to @flyingv ; and said if he did not get on with the Burny or decided to move it on let me know and I would appreciate the first refusal.

Anyway, we exchanged a few messages and very kindly @flyingv ; decided to help me out of my misery of missing it 3 times.

Thanks, Kev you are the man

happy days

I think the answer is experienced, :-) she has been passed around the Fretboard village like a dockgate hooker on a long weekend. 

Yeah might have been extremely Jet lagged when trying to write this.

But whatever I am loving it

Ah I sssoooo want a gold top:(. Very nice:)

Does she have a lefthanded sister

Yeah I love a nice gold top and the fact that this has natural relicing on the top is I think unusual for what is a Fujigen Burny. 
My old one was a thick poly finish that when a few bits chipped you could see it was seriously thick poly. 
As all the previous owners have said the checking is natural and not from razor blades which I believe. I am wondering if it was one of those Japanese oddities with what they call a lacquered top the checking does not extend to the back or sides, either way, it's cool as I am not one for relicing but do think a Gold Top has a certain something.

Do you know what, gold tops really ain't my thing, but that said I loved the story and the fact it's worked out so well for you in the end is what made it for me.  Well done that man

I realise that this is a Greco, not a Burny & personally I don't like the relicing, but you might enjoy the read
