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

Excuse my little camera's quality, my friend told me he thinks it's a Hofner, but I'm not sure if they were East German

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...

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 Queen’s 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 :)

Most important player of the Burns IMO was Elvis. His Burns is on display at Graceland. Elvis played it a lot. Ironic, since he access to just about any guitar he could have wanted.
