When a Burns isn't a Burns. Japanese made violin-bodied 12 string Burns "copy".


guitarz.blogspot.com:








I found this Japan made Burns guitar while doing one of my regular "Burns Guitar" searches the other day. I'm hesitant to call this a copy as I'm not aware of any Burns guitar that is similar to this model. Has anyone seen one before?

It sold for $127 and I kind of wish it were I who bought it. I'm sure though that it would require quite a bit of work to get playable, so I probably did myself a favour not adding to my list of projects. But I'd sure love to have a 12 string with a tremolo. Imagine the possibilities, the constant tuning would be paramount to heavy lifting finger exercises.

guitarz.blogspot.com: We previously looked at a prototype Virginian from Jim Burns' involvement with Hayman guitars at the beginning of the 1970s, but the design predates that era and was previously issued in the late 1960s when Burns London Ltd had...

- Rare Burns Baldwin Model 706 In Minn For $550
These are very rare - which doesn't necessarily translate to great - but certainly an interesting guitar.  Burns Badwin (late period) 335 type guitar.  The owner seems to know the history of this model - with the hardware being of Eko-Crucianelli...

- Burns Marquis (ri) Electric In North Jersey For $350
Though this is not a vintage 60's Burns guitar these Reissues are pretty cool and they are hard to find here in the USA for a decent price. This one is about half the price of a new imported Marquis - I like these better than the Burns RI Cobra which...
