"About the Brand –Burny”
Burny is a guitar brand manufactured by FERNANDES, a well-known Japanese guitar company.
Within the FERNANDES lineup, guitars based on the classic Les Paul and SG designs were often released under the Burny brand name.
FERNANDES guitars were popular not only among Japanese musicians but also with players around the world due to their quality and craftsmanship.
However, FERNANDES effectively ceased operations in 2025. As a result, Burny and FERNANDES guitars have become increasingly difficult to find, making them more desirable to collectors and fans.
