Vintage 1962 Burns Sonic Red Cherry Maple Bass Guitar
Vintage 1962 Burns Sonic Red Cherry Maple Bass Guitar
Jim Burns too was very much a pioneer, and his policy of continual development and refinement reflected a constant quest to realise his vision of the ideal electric guitar. Distinctive design ideas were more than matched by accompanying hardware and circuitry and although some such aspects bordered on gimmickry, others offered genuine innovation, and have become accepted concepts, later to be claimed as firsts by other, more illustrious conveniently forgetful makers. .

Cosmetic Inspection

This is in brilliant condition. An absolute beauty! We struggle to find anything worth mentioning. However, please bear in mind this is over 55 years old so will not be in the exact condition it left the factory.
Originality
In our opinion, this is all original other than the refinish & replacement tuners.
Summary
Overall, this is a very rare and collectible guitar. Not only is this sure to increase in value year on year, but also it can be an enjoyed investment.
