Product Description
Burns London, the historic UK guitar brand, offers quirky '60s-inspired instruments that really stand out from the crowd! Their Marquee model just oozes with retro charm, but has the reliable and reassuring build quality you'd expect from a modern-day guitar. It's the perfect example of old meets new! This 'Shadow' Marquee model is a "deluxe" twist of Burns' standard Marquee.
There are a few cosmetic refinements add an extra layer of class, with the Shadow Marquee's matching black headstock and painted neck forming a uniform look, while the bound Rosewood fingerboard offers that custom "tuxedo" aesthetic. The pickups are also different, with the Shadow Marquee coming equipped with a set of Burns' legendary 'Tri-Sonic' single-coils that sound beautifully-vibrant, full and dynamic.
Key Features
- Okoume Body — A popular timber often likened to Mahogany for its warm and sustain-rich sound, giving the Marquee fantastic sonic depth.
- Maple Neck — A high-quality wood that's strong and bright in tone.
- Bolt-On Construction — Gives the instrument a "snappy" sound and response, so you’ll always feel musically-connected when you strum a chord or pick a note!
- 25.5" Scale Length — Popular scale synonymous with bolt-on guitars. Gives the Marquee optimal tension, so you can dig in but still bend the strings with plenty of expression.
- Matching Scroll Headstock — There's nothing quite like it! Only this kind of headstock design would have been conceived in the '60s, and we love it!
- Burns Tri-Sonic Pickups — Iconic single-coils adored for their bright chimey overtones and punchy, barking mid-range. They're synonymous with Queen's Brian May!
- Push/Pull Function — Pull the second tone control up to engage the neck pickup with any position on the 5-way pickup selector switch. This means that you can get a T-style tone if you select the bridge pickup position with the push/pull activated, or you can even use all 3 pickups together in switch position 4. This gives you a total of 7 different sounds!
- Burns Knife-Edge Tremolo — Famously-smooth bar action lets you tastefully add vibrato to a ringing chord or note, with a positive return to pitch. The full-sized aluminium sustain block really emphasises that iconic Burns sound too!
