Burns Jazz Split Sound electric guitar
This is a beautiful old Burns Jazz Split Sound which I have owned for 53 years. I bought it in from Bill Greehalgh’s music shop in Exeter when I was at St Luke’s College and have owned it ever since. It was made in either or and apart from one pot (see picture) it is entirely original. It has not been resprayed or refretted. Even the original truss rod adjustment key survives! I was never a fully pro musician but like many, did some amateur work along the way. The result is, fortunately for the guitar, quite light use (the majority at home) and some good care from me. The guitar bears the marks of a very long life but nothing serious as you can observe from the images. A few years ago, I made a new scratchplate so that the guitar could be used as a synthesiser if required. I did it such a way that the original guitar body was not modified or altered any way and, as may be seen from the pictures, it has now been returned to its original configuration. The Roland synthesiser comes as part of the package. It’s about ¾ hour’s work to change the scratchplates over and an extremely simple procedure because I made it that way. This makes the guitar exceptionally versatile and expands hugely its applications for music making whether at home or gigging. It also makes the guitar unique. The guitar and the synthesiser come with a generic hard cases. I have 31 images in total so if you need/want/would like to see more, please just ask. I will answer any sensible questions within 24 hours or sooner. The guitar is sold collection only and the buyer will pay cash on collection. I am happy to provide a full receipt. I will not accept payment via paypal. This is a huge advantage to the buyer because it means they get to have a good look at the guitar before parting with any hard earned cash. Read more
