This is one of the transitional guitars made by Burns, but sold by the Brian May Guitar Company. The serial number is below BHN6430 which is when the BMGC started manufacturing the instruments, so this is actually a Burns-built guitar - very desirable!I bought it in 2006 on a whim, but I've hardly touched it since. It is like new apart from a small scratch on the back which I managed to do while changing the strings... There are one or two very minor belt marks on the rear, but nothing significant. I fitted the trim plate below the tremolo unit a few years ago.It comes with a strap fitted with Schaller type locking nuts and a soft case which fits very snugly to protect the instrument.Perhaps a christmas present for someone?Happy Bidding!
