Here for sale we have a Burns The Marvin 1964 Reissue electric guitar in Shadows White finish. This guitar features a bolt-on construction consisting of a Selected American Alder body, Canadian Maple neck and a 21 fret Rosewood fingerboard. A Burns Rez-O-Tube Tremolo system is featured with a set of Burns Deluxe tuning machines. The pickups are a trio of Burns Rez-O-Matik US Alnico Magnet Single Coils, these are wired to a 5-way blade selector, master volume and two tone controls with a push/pull feature that engages the neck pickup in any position.

The Canadian Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the ‘C’ profile offering a slender feel in the hand, whilst the Gloss finish on the back aids in smooth movement up and down the register. The Rosewood fretboard feels pleasant under the fingers and provides a smooth surface for the user to explore, along with the 12” radius making chordal playing, bending and vibrato techniques a breeze. The Selected American Alder body is robust and weighty, giving it a dependable feel, whilst the body contours provide comfort in either standing or sitting positions.

The trio of Burns Rez-O-Matik US Alnico Magnet single coil pickups installed in this guitar offer a rich set of tones suitable for a wide range of styles. The neck pickup is nicely warm, with plenty of thickness for lead lines and solos. Funky tones are present in the middle position whilst the bridge has all the brightness required for country or blues. A versatile instrument that provides a broad tonal palette for the user to explore. The push/pull tone control engages the neck pickup in all 5 positions, meaning that in position 4 you can use all 3 pickups at once, this offers a plethora of tonal options for the player to explore.
