I think that's the only burns guitar I like the look of.

looks fantastic. wish the burns logo wasn't so big on the PG (the red one)

I'm sure it's just print that could be removed. I kinda like the big print. Pretty rad guitar, never seen them before

They remind me of one of those off kilter italian guitars from the 60s

I think they stopped making them but they still seem to be around. Justin Hawkins of The Darkness endorsed this guitar btw 
One went on UK ebay for about £400 not long ago.
£749 is a lot to pay for a chinese made guitar, or is it? The new Vox AC30 amps are Chinese made and retail at around £1,000 i believe. Too much? Of course it is, but when you consider the price of a new USA Gibson or Fender it is'nt.

I heard Justin Hawkins was cool again. I think he's cool. This guitar, less so. I posted about this a while back when I was considering a Nu-sonic, but the pricing makes no sense at all. The hardware is the same as the crap £200 strats they make, all Wilkinson stuff, and they're made in China, and the pickups (these guady humbuckers aside) are also the same... so why £800ish for this?

Er.. I presume you mean the Cobra? They are far from crap mate, certainly one of the best purchases i've made concerning value for money.timhulio wrote:The hardware is the same as the crap £200 strats they make,

Ahh... burns Nu-Sonic is still nicer:
But even then, they always seem to botch the upper horn of all of their guitars. They would look so much nicer with some slight tweaking...
i.e. Burns Marquee.

I like the Burns stuff . Completely off the wall shit with a conservative fundamental . I love em . I consider a lot of their stuff the " Fuck You Purists " Guitars or the British Fender .
