Burny Lawsuit Singlecut John Sykes

Small Update: A deadbeat bidder did not follow through on this guitar so it is relisted here. Maybe your lucky day!!!

Update, this is a very rare early "transitional" model, it has the S lightning bolt headstock inlay with a real authetic Burny engraved truss rod cover. This model was only around from 89 to part of 1990. I uploaded pics of the pots showing that this is the exact range of age of this guitar. The codes on the parts start with a 9 for 1989.

This is a super rare John Sykes model Burny Les Paul. Based on John's 1970's model Gibson Les Paul, this model was only available in Japan and this is one of very few here in the US. This version has the very rare John Sykes engraved Gibson bell style truss rod cover, S lighting bolt headstock inlay, which I believe is the rarest of all the Sykes Burnys, there was maybe one or two months where they made this variant.
In good condition. Has small paint chip on each point on the back of headstock. Please see pics. Neck is nice and straight with plenty of fret life left. Body may have some superficial scratches and some dings around the input jack and top of body. Please see all photos.
Body and Neck is Mahogany and the weight of this Les Paul is in the low 9's. I believe the fretboard is Ebony but it maybe a very dark Rosewood, please check the photos and decide yourself.
This guitar comes setup with new strings by Mark Cameron.
BEWARE!!! If you are a person in Europe or the USA that collects these guitars beware of Ebay/Reverb sellers in Japan selling these. Ever wonder why there are two or three sellers with the exact same guitar? It's because they don't actually own it and are waiting for you to send funds so they can buy it, if its still even in stock, so you are getting pics and descriptions third hand. Sure my items may cost a little more but the guitar is actually here in the USA and each one is played through, electronics tested and setup with brand new strings by world renown amp maker and guitar tech Mark Cameron. I even offer a refund policy if you are not happy with the guitar.
