This week we review an affordable retro reissue from iconic British company Burns who are best known for creating some odd looking 'ahead of their time' guitars. Will the current range help to reignite that old flame? 🔥 join us for a deep dive look & listen and find out! 🎸

PS. I think I forgot to mention the scale length is 24.75" (as per Gibson) so it's not short scale in the traditional sense... just shorter than Fender standard 25.5"

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.
