Finally NGD!
« on: June 15, 2010, 07:59:19 PM »
After finally managing to get rid of the bitsa, I got this little beauty:


It's the Burny RLC-55 RR AWT...like new. The guy who bought it played it a couple of times & couldn't get on with it...soooo we did a swop.

Man these are nice guitars

I've wnated one of the white custom Les Paul's for a while, just something about that Randy Rhoads look that does it for me. The pickups in it aren't that bad, but it needs beefing up, so a set of Emeralds are going in to see if I can get this Bunny boiling.

It looks quite cream in real life compared to the picture as well

Emeralds eh? I've never heard them live but I'm very curious... what's the tone reference for them in terms of tracks?

"Emerald" by Thin Lizzy (apologies if I misunderstood the question!  :lol: ). 

I believe they're (roughly) based on the pickups used in '70s Les Pauls.  Have a look for the threads where Hunter reviewed his Emeralds, they were the first which gave me an idea of how the Emeralds are distinct from other pickups in the range.

gordiji...I know...I bought them ;)

Phil, it's one of the newer ones. I'd heard a lot about he classic issue ones, but when I went to do the trade wuith the strat, we played each others for a while & I fell for it. Nice medium to heavy body & the neck profile is lovely on them. once I've got it hot rodded I'm sure it'll be one of my gigging guitars
