You are bidding on an all-original 2004/5 BURNS MARVIN 40th ANNIVERSARY GUITAR in NEAR-MINT condition. Truthfully, I can’t find an imperfections, but I’d never describe a twelve-year-old guitar I haven’t owned from new as “mint”.   This guitar, serial number 0742, comes in its ORIGINAL BURNS HARD SHELL CASE. It’s complete with ALL ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES (unused) and DOCUMENTATION, including its SIGNED HANK B. MARVIN CERTIFICATE.   I’ve owned this instrument since 2007. In my time – and I’m sure before – it has never been gigged, and since 2007 has only been very lightly used in a smoke-free, pet-free environment for studio recordings.   Cosmetically and electrically, the guitar is in excellent condition. The neck is straight, there’s no crackle from the pots, and the jack connection is solid.   The ORIGINAL BURNS CASE with its two original keys is also in a totally unblemished near-mint state. All catches and the lock are unstrained and fully secure the case.  
SPECIFICATIONS & FEATURES   Style: Solid electric 6-string Date of Manufacture: 2004/5 Serial Number: 0742 Colour: Green Sunburst Body: Alder Neck: Canadian Hard Rock maple with Indian Rosewood fretboard Machine heads: Burns Van Gent-style Tremolo: Burns Rezo-tube Pickups: 3 x Burns Rez-O-Matik Switches: ·        1 x volume, 2 x tone* ·        *push-pull on one tone control for further pickup combinations ·        Five-position pickup selector Scale Length: 25½ ins Frets: 21 Net Weight (guitar & case): 10.0Kg     *************     This Marvin 40th Anniversary Edition guitar is not just beautiful to look at; it’s extremely versatile. The push-pull switching allows all three pickups to be activated together, or indeed the ‘neck-and-bridge’ should you feel the need.   The only drawback is the guitar’s weight. That Alder body means you’ll have over three-and-a-half kilograms hanging from your shoulders (that’s around eight pounds!).     *************     As by definition this will be a fairly heavy item to post, collection from Attleborough, Norfolk – about twelve miles west of Norwich and fifty miles east of Cambridge – will be welcome and advised.   However, I am prepared to ship worldwide. Please see above for mainland UK carriage costs (or contact me for shipping to your country, quotes with insurance, tracking etc.).   Happy bidding.
