Great find, just got my old East German electric back, it was pretty bad off, but the sentimental value to this old Soldier makes it a nice wall hanger

Yeah, I just got my Strat back last night after not having it for 4 months. My fingertips are in a fair bit of pain.
Lord knows what these guitars would go for, should they be auctioned off.
If only I had $2000 to burn to custom-design a guitar...

So that’s what they look like? I think I saw a few of those at Guitar Center when I was there during the week. Even a left-handed one. Didn’t see a price tag though.

The collection of 12 Supersound guitars appears to be one of the most definitive and important examples of a fairly undocumented period of British guitar-making history.A history that had little impact and influence on the electric guitar world. Britain will instead be remembered for producing the devices that allowed the electric guitar to be played loudly. Very loudly. Marshall. Vox. Hiwatt. This is Britain's legacy to the electric guitar.

Burns, of course, went on to produce guitars played by such notable musicians as Queens Brian May, ???????
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't May always brag about how his guitar, (or at least the one used during Queen's early years), was completely hand built by his own hands in his father's workshop?
Otherwise, what a wonderfully rich nasty harmonic tone that axe had :)

You can hear a Marshall from a mile away. Especially if it’s mic’d to a 15,000W PA.
