Burns Flyte 1970's - Natural Gloss

This Burns Flyte is a extreemly rare and iconic Guitar .

Made by Newcastle born Jim Burns in the 1970's, it is still one of the most unusual and futuristic looking Guitars we have ever clapped eyes on.It's Design was inspired by the shape of the famous Conchord Aircraft and it does truly look, with one flick of its wings, like it could be off soaring through the stratosphere.

We are selling this Burns for Richard Dawson, who played this guitar on his Album 'Henki' that he wrote in Collaberation with the Finnish Rock Band 'Circle'. If you dont know Dawson - check him out - he has written many truly amazing Albums ( my fave so far is '2020') .He combines folk roots and gregorian scales with wild guitar and  brilliant,poiniant,story telling lyrics  and his collaberation with Circle - give it an excellent, fierce, Nordic Rock flavour!So this guitar could well become even more of an investment ,as Dawson's Music is, in our opinion, going to stand the test of time.

This Guitar has been marked by its Rock and Roll lifestyle since the 70's and Dawson has no doubt added his own marks, but it has had a Curvy Sounds set up and plays like a dream !
