USED Burny / BJ-130 1970s [10]

We have just received a BJ-130 from the Barney brand, which was working on a respect model that pays homage to Fernandez's Company G style guitars.
In the 1977 Bernie Acoustics catalog, the J-200 is listed as a made-to-order model, but this BJ-130 may be the model that was made into a commercial model. (The number of production might be very small.)

The BJ-130's main spec details and materials are as follows: top: solid spruce, sides and back: solid maple, neck: maple 1-piece, fingerboard: rosewood, spool: Grover 102G (original USA-made at the same time as the body was manufactured), nut and saddle: cow bone, Scale: 648mm (25.5"), etc.
The pickguard material of Bernie Acoustic Guitar may be tortoiseshell. The SJ pattern on the pickguard looks like a handmade high quality engraving, so it may be made of orange tortoiseshell, which is not the highest quality but is rare and valuable with spots.

Appearance Condition
Headstock: Paint is cloudy on the surface, and there are scratches and peeling paint on the corners.
Neck: There is a large bruise on the heel of the neck, and some old capo marks are scattered on the grip, although there are no painful scratches.
The binding on the end of the fingerboard has a gap due to shrinkage, but it is not completely peeled off.
Binding: The paint is discolored in places due to age, but this is not due to decay of the material, but rather a chemical reaction between the celluloid binding and the paint (possibly lacquer). The discoloration is not due to decay of the material.
The metal parts may have some cool looking age-related rusting and staining.
There are also some scratches and scuffs on the entire body, but there is no fatal damage that prevents you from playing it. (Please consider it as a vintage guitar in excellent condition.)

Contents of professional repair
The nut and saddle have been replaced in the past, but they are made of cow bone. (No other parts have been replaced, and the guitar seems to be in full original condition.)
The original frets with fret edge binding have been filed (rubbed together) and molded.
The bridge has been repaired by clamping and crimping after injecting tight bond.
The pickguard has been removed and re-glued after the old adhesive was removed to avoid breaking or damaging the original PG.
