1999 Burny Japan Flying V LV-115KK L’Arc-en-Ciel Ken Signature Sparkle Gold w/gigbag

Hello there,

Today we pleased to introduce to you the BURNY LV-115KK L’Arc-en-Ciel Ken Signature. This guitar is made in Japan and it's obviously totally inspired by the Gibbie Flying V model (but having a bit thinner body and weighs less). Ken Kitamura is a Japanese guitarist, singer and composer born in 1968 in Maibara, Shiba, Japan. He is known in Japan for being the guitarist of the famous Japanese rock band “L’Arc-en-Ciel”. This signature guitar was the one of the most expensive Fernandes/Burny guitars of the time.

Originally, all the Burny LV-115-KK guitars were painted with a Sparkle Pink! It turns out that after a few years, this pink color turned into a Sparkle “Champagne”. This transformation is most likely due to a chemical reaction between the glitters and the paint used at the time, because when the pickguard is removed, it is absolutely clear that the color under the pickguard is also changed, which invalidates the theory of a reaction due to light and favors rather that of a pure and simple chemical reaction. Anyway, I think it looks even more beautiful in Sparkle Gold.

The guitar is in real good shape and the only issue is scratched surface, which is only seen when you look at the guitar from 50 cm distance under straight light and which is also can be easily polished. Frets are still alive, everything works in a proper way. The only non-original part of the guitar is truss rod cover, which fitting perfectly.

Features:

• Mahogany body
• Set mahogany neck
• Rosewood fingerboard
• Beautiful abalon "Cat" inlay on 12th fret
• Gotoh Japan hardware
• Gotoh Japan FHM-2110 pickups
• Sparkle Gold color
• V-shaped gigbag
