Burns Marquee Club Series
Excellent reminiscence of the old Burns guitar played by Hank Marvin of the Shadows. The Club Series was built for Burns London in Asia - and one can rightly be surprised at how many professional features the guitar has on board and how good its build quality is. No wonder the Burns Marquee won the coveted "Guitar of the Year" award in England in 1999 and 2000.

The guitar is in excellent condition. Only a 'dong' on the lower body horn (see photo) shows that it has been played. The guitar comes with nickel-plated security-strap pins. If you have gold-plated security counterparts on your strap, the golden look is 100% restored.
The conveniently 'grippy' neck (not too thick, not too thin) ensures comfortable playability, and the Burns ReZ-O-Matik single-coil pickups produce exactly the classic (Strat) sound that Burns and Hank Marvin are associated with. The Burns tremolo system, which works in vintage style and demonstrates great tuning stability, is also amazingly good.
This Burns Marquee is professionally set up, has new strings, and comes with a good, low action.
