hey andy, nothing to do with the video, but i figured if id post it on a new video then youd most likely respond. your finger picking technique is an inspiration to me. i have spasticty in both my right limbs, so playing guitars not easy for me, however considering theres a real lot of videos of you on YT, you insired me to actually make an attempt at fingerpicking. i can barely get through a 2 bar riff, an i never will fingerpick like you, but your actually one of my main influences for guitar.
@Socioistic Tiesco copied Burns (this guitar is very close in looks to the original Marvin guitars made by Burns in the early 60s, copied about the same time by Tiesco)
I have always loved and admired this guitar. It is a wonderful example of "I am what I am" a company that has its own sound and style. As cool as it gets..
@downwithdixie the pickups which Brian May had installed in his original home-made guitar were made and wound at home by him and his father. the tri-sonics just look similar
I recently saw the shadow's version of this guitar. That had a way more interesting and better looking tremolo system then this. That will probably be reflected in the price though...
@bluesBro18 Google image search a "Burns Bison" they look wild! Clearly trying to look "cowboy"... the most famous player was a guy called Hank Marvin. (you can also search "Burns Hank Marvin:" This new one captures a lot of the vibe!
I would love to support these smaller guitar companies but I am a slave to the names Fender and Gibson. At least I am for main guitars, but once I have my full guitar room I will be buying more of these wonderful guitars.
@acledfloyd Problem is - most of these "Burns London" guitars are made in China or Korea. You wouldn't be supporting a "smaller guitar company" the way you are thinking.
@Nooseybear I think you mean the first you've noticed. Quite a few Gretsch guitars and many others have had zero frets for decades. Certainly not a revolutionary idea.
it's actually a classic design, the shadows used it in the 60's. It was one of the few brands then that could hold up with the American giants Fender and Gibsons;)
@TheCollisionofworlds honestly, this is the first guitar I've ever seen that the sound of it made me overlook how disgusting its physial characteristics are. that being said, I'll bet that reddish orange ages REEEAALL nice.

I own a Burns GB65 (1963-1965, semi-hollow).
It sounds great clean with a little breakup on the neck pickup. Not meant for overdrive/distortion though..
Anyone interested? Andy? (:
