The Old Burny One is one of these, an early 1980s Burny guitar, with a solid mahogany body and neck and more Mojo than a Mojo tree in Mojoland, MJ.
From a stripped down beginning, here in Jookyland we have painfully given it a golden top using 24 Karat Gold Leaf, and a variety of potions and unctions to both age it and protect what that leaves. It really is stunning too, none of this 9 Karat bobbins you get down Samuels.
In keeping with it’s vintage, we’ve gone for a set of Bill Lawrence designed Gibson ‘The Original’ pickups. These were fitted in Gibson guitars for only a short period of time before (allegedly) Gibson and Lawrence fell out and went in different directions. They are quite lovely pickups, giving all the old PAF tones, but with a bit of extra oomph when you need it.
To control these beasts well, we’ve gone for one of Shugz’ vintage wiring looms, complete with Russian Oil-in-Paper capacitors, CTS pots and all the good things. The difference between this and your standard Gibson wiring these days, is frightening. Other than that, tuners are Gibson (Klusons), and the ABR and ToM are Gotoh parts and work beautifully.
This really is a stunning guitar in every way, what else can I say?

To be clear, The Old Burny One is an utterly unique guitar, and there will never, ever, be another made. It is signed and numbered, entirely hand built and finished cooler than a British Dylan. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
