"Some guitarists think of the USA as the only
source of quality electric guitars, and for the most part
they are correct. However, there are many of us who remember
the superb range of guitars designed and made by BURNS
GUITARS, a British company.
Way back in 1963, Jim Burns, the founder of the Company,
worked closely with myself and Bruce Welch of The Shadows
to design a guitar which would have the style, sound,
and playability we required. Together we developed the
'BURNS MARVIN' a fine guitar, which I played on record,
stage and screen from 1964 thru to 1970 when, unfortunately,
my guitars were stolen, never to be seen again, well not
by me!
I am delighted that BURNS GUITARS are still in the
business of making quality instruments, and in particular
the new 'BURNS MARVIN.'
Playing this new "Marvin" brings back a
host of memories; such as the recording of "The Rise
and Fall of Flingel Bunt", together with many other
Shadows tracks I recorded with my BURNS.
The new "BURNS MARVIN" plays superbly and
I am very happy to be the proud owner of one of these
fine guitars, it plays and sounds as good as my original. |
