#Burny serial number check series

Copies of Mustangs and Musicmasters were pretty dead-on, and at the time, you could buy USA-made ones for under $150 any day of the week.

It was amazing the amount of things that were copied well in that era. The mid-to-late '70s models seem to have a lot of variation with numbering, which makes ID'ing them fun.in a 'Where's Waldo' kind of way.Д«ottom line is that they are typically solid, well-made guitars, and as long as you stick with the bigger house names (Fernandes/Burny, Tokai, Greco, etc.), you should do fine. Regarding Tokai,just a remind Tokai Gakki is a factory with an own brand(Tokai) BUT they can build for other brands and they do(contracts).I feel Tokai factory as a 'big Custom Shop' itВґs not a big factory as other makers.And Tokai had a close relationship with Martin in the past and built Sigma brand and maybe electric 'Martins'. Jimmy the ptice you got for the Tokai is bargain,congrats!Д¬hris is right about the number is the price in japanese money(yen). You can e-mail me more pics to help for dating if you want.

I guess these early Fernandes replicas were on a heavy weight side and some are laminated not all solid wood.They were improving the replicas with th time reaching a high quality with The Reival Series and late 7Вґs/early 80Вґs FST series.Some were laquer finish made. Thre reason it was written Burny at the headstock was marketing.fernandes was releasing his Burny sub-brand for Gibson replicas and as far as Fernandes was a sucessful brand in Japan they wanted to say: Burny is a related Fernandes brand.

I guess not a Tokai,not sure the manufacterer as you know Fernandes is a brand not a factory.There Fernandes were the first sucessfull atemp to achieve a good quality Fender replica. Your guitar is a Fernandes FST CBS style model,depending on year made could be a FST-80.Please let me know which number is sculped at the end of maple neck.
