Burns Steer Cutaway review

Review of the Burns Steer guitar. Sound quality is better than the video. I used my laptop webcam which doesn't have that greatof a resolution but it allows me to get these up faster. Unfortunately I can't do much editing when using the webcam as the framerate throws off the sync if I try to add titles.

Still, a nice guitar that has a lot to offer someone who likes different tones. Versatile and not just another Strat clone. This particular model has been sold but I can always get more!

Does look lethal, doesn't it?

@UkeOfEarl The neck is pretty average/typical of guitars today, nothing exotic. Definitely not fat, so don't cry! I'm of the belief that a good guitar can be used for anything. It has bluesy possibilities but it doesn't sound like a strat/tele/LP for sure.

I have the non-cutaway version. Gets very conventional sounds as well as wacky ones. Crazy unique guitar.

I first became aware of this guitar back in 1983 when I started listening to Billy Bragg. He's the only one I've ever seen use it. I think it's a cool guitar. Certainly different. It's versatile and unique. Kind of ugly, yet cool looking at the same time. I like the green color. The re-issues from about 7 or 8 years ago were very affordable when new. Don't know if they're still being sold. Used ones are probably very reasonable. Neat guitar. Off the beaten path.

There is nothing in the gibson range that is anywhere similar....

I dont disagree gibson guitars are very good... however the closest to this is probily an ES 335 or a ES 175... but none of them can give you the same sortof sounds...

I had one and sold it.

It's much heavier than it looks and tend to go groundwards if on a strap. The balance isn't too good.

Looks super cool though.

This is a great and versatile guitar. I have had one for about 3 years now- its comfortable to play-great tone- and plenty of volume. Try one out.

You didn't really spend any time in the middle position, using both pickups sans distortion. I've had one since 2002 and LOVE that setting! It chimes in a bell-like way that a Rick couldn't even touch. I use it exclusively for recording and everybody asks "what the hell is that guitar tone?" I swear by it! I don't think anyone who wants to pile on the distortion would go near a quirky little oddity like this. Maybe corntry pickers & Billy Bragg fanatics or Burns geeks like myself- but that's it!

there rubbish my dads got one without the cutaway and a dark neck. GET A GIBSON :D

Cheers for the comprehensive review of this unique instrument - it's convinced me that I gotta get me one of these babies!
