Original Burny Randy Rhoads Custom. Mid 80's made in Japan and in 100% original condition. Condition is near perfect.
Fernandes Burny, as many know, captured the sound and the mystique of the real thing with their offerings in this early 1980s period. Japanese luthiers' accuracy in detail is unmatched. I am not interested in trades. Cash sale only! If you want it, I have it. Not too many of these around. This Authentic 85/86 Matsumoku built Burny Randy Rhoads Les Paul has a volute, the only one of the Randy Rhodes iterations to actually have the correct 70's volute

What pickups are in it?

Since you're obviously too fuk'n lazy to Google... 🙄

Factory Pickup Details (Burny VH-1)
  • Design: Designed by Fernandes (Burny's parent company), these vintage-output humbuckers were built to emulate classic Gibson PAF tones.
  • Tone: They offer excellent string-to-string definition and harmonic richness, providing a solid foundation for classic rock and heavy metal when pushed through a high-gain amplifier.
  • Leads: Original VH-1s from the late 1980s typically feature gray pickup leads. 
Common Modifications
Because the original Randy Rhoads models are sought after for aggressive 80s hard rock and metal, players frequently modify them with higher-output pickups to achieve heavier, more modern tones. 
  • Seymour Duncan: The Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion is a popular bridge choice for emulating Rhoads' aggressive Jackson V sound. The SH-16 Custom/59 Hybrid is also favored to balance high-output drive with classic PAF clarity. 
  • DiMarzio: The Super Distortion is a staple replacement for players looking to push their amplifier into heavy, sustaining lead territory. [1]
  • Gibson: Some owners swap the VH-1s for Gibson Super '74 Pickups, which feature Alnico 3 magnets exactly like Rhoads' original studio Les Paul Custom.
