Does anyone know anything about these guitars? I have one which I've restored:- refretted; curved the fingerboard (Rosewood I think) (originally flat like a classical guitar!?); fitted new machine heads like fenders,(originals were unusably small); new brass nut(dowelled); New solid brass tailpiece; Original bridge; Original Burns Trisonic pickups; Original pots; Original / Burns Sonic Model/ motif on head; Finish is bright red + black pick guard. Have used it for 10 years+ ; never let me down. Plays well, stays in tune for ages(old wood....?).no truss rod! Short scale about 30". ( Less than Precision and lot less than Jazz). Replies really appreciated!

Hi doitrite \:\)

We're here. I think you've just flummoxed us a little. ;\)

I've seen a couple examples of these at guitar fairs. But I've zero experience of them "in the flesh" and I know very little about the model.

Paul.
