Burns Nu-Sonic Model Solid Body Electric Guitar (1965), made in London, cherry polyester finish, Agba wood body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, Non original Hardcase. The Nu-Sonic guitar was Burns' budget instrument after mid-1965, introduced to replace the original 1960 Sonic series. The model was offered in guitar and bass form in cherry or black finish at around half the price of a flashy Bison or Marvin guitar; it is roughly the equivalent of Fender's Mustang. Despite its budget intentions, the Nu-Sonic is a well-made guitar and was not particularly cheap by contemporary standards. Perhaps in light of this, it was one of the first models to be dropped by Baldwin after they bought the Burns company in September 1965. The Nu-Sonics were discontinued by the fall of 1966 making the total production run was very brief at only about two years. Burns-labeled examples are quite rare, and Baldwin examples only slightly less so. This particular guitar was built just before the change in regime (the inspection sticker is dated August 1964) and is a Burns . Fitted out with two single-coil Nu-Sonic Pickups, 3-way switch, individual volumes and master tone . A cool Burns rarity and neat little player's guitar.
The guitar is missing its trem arm but they do pop up on ebay from time to time any questions please ask
