Some of my Guitars Marquee 2015 Shadow 2011 and Cobra 2013
.
Having developed an interest in these guitars I found on the web a wonderful site by Trever Midgley and I urge all with an
interest in these guitars to visit his site. Unfortunately due to time pressures Trevor stopped updating his site in 2010.
The purpose of my site is to continue the work he was doing and provide information on models and updates he hasn't covered.
Trevor's website can be found here. Burns Guitars Burns Guitars have been around since the 50s for a full history I recommend reading Pearls and Crazy Diamonds by Per Gjorde.
Burns of London was formed by Barry Gibson in 1992. The idea was to make faithful reprodutions of earlier Burns guitars and add some
models and variations remaining faithful to the original design ideas. The guitars were made in England, until 1999 when some models
were made in Korea then later some in China and now there is almost no British Manufacture but the quality remains very high.
There appear as far as I can find to be about 60 different models or variations some of which information is hard to come by and some
of which are very limited in numbers made.
