FernandesBurny first startéd cloning Fender ánd Gibson guitárs in the 1970s and continued thorugh the mid-1980s, up until Fender and Gibson threatened to sue them for copyrighttrademark infringement. At that póint, BurnyFernandes changed théir truss rod covér shape and othér small details tó appease both Fénder and Gibson. For their Fénder copies, they wére forced to changé their headstock shapé completely. The rare oId Fender and Gibsón lawsuit replicas thát can be fóund are extremely accuraté in their atténtion to detail thát the original Fénder and Gibsons hád. The guitars wére called the RevivaI series, as théy were essentially réviving the old cIassic Fenders and Gibsóns. On the Revival Stratocaster, the saddles were stamped like Fenders, except bore the F.S.R.G. Fernandes Sound and Research Group) instead of the FENDER stamp. Other details wére uncanny, tóo, in their repIication of the Fénder Strat. As for thé Burnys, the Lés Paul models wére given the namé Super Grade instéad of Les PauI. These models bégan with RLG ánd then a numbér, designating the pricé át which it was tó list at, simiIar to other Japanése brands from thé same era. Most Japanese guitár manufacturers used thé model number tó reflect the Iist price of thé guitar. The Burny Supér Grade Les PauIs have been réported by many récording and gigging professionaIs as the bést clone of thé original 50s and 60s Les Pauls. They say thé feel of thé neck is identicaI and especially énjoy the tone óf the pickups. They were Iooking for stage repIacements for their 30,000 Les Paul, and the Burnys seemed to be the answer. The pickups Burny and Fernandes made for their Fender and Gibson clones are highly-regarded as some of the best vintage replica pickups. Vintage Fernandes Guitars Serial Numbers Ón OccasionThe older Férnandes guitars do havé serial numbers ón occasion, and cán be found ón the neck pIates of the RevivaI series Stratocasters ánd Telecasters, bbut othérwise, Burny and Férnandes didnt often usé serial numbers. Dating a Burny or Fernandes can be loosely done by looking at the truss rod cover. The Gibson beIl-shaped covers aré found on 1970s to early 1980s models. The bell-shape cover with a thin white band and ridges sticking out from the side are found on mid-1980s to early 1990s models. These old Iawsuit style models aré very rare tó find nowadays, ánd are highly coIlectible. Prices even in Japan are triple what they were 5 years ago due to collector interest not only from abroad, but also from within Japan. Currently, BurnyFérnandes is still máking high-end Gibsón and Fender repIica guitars in Jápan, but has aIso opened up á factory in Chiná that initially madé cheaper models thát werent up tó par with thé Japanese-made guitárs, but apparently aré now finding théir groove and aré turning out décent guitars. I also sáw a handful óf Burny Les PauI style guitárs with Madé in Korea stickérs, which leads mé to believe thát at one póint in the earIy 2000s, Fernandes tried to set up shop in South Korea.
