Burns Marquee Left Handed Electric Guitar in Shadow White with Rosewood Fingerboard

That’s right, Burns Guitars are back! The historic UK brand aims to broaden the market with its quirky ‘60s-inspired guitars that really stand out from the crowd. Burns’ Marquee model just oozes with retro charm, but has the reliable and reassuring build quality you’d expect from a modern-day instrument. It’s the perfect example of old meets new!

Despite its radical looks, the core construction features of the Burns Marquee are very much in line with that of a conventional S-style guitar — so you’ll feel right at home. Bright vintage tones resonate beautifully from this instrument, courtesy of a trio of Burns’ proprietary ‘Rez-O-Matik’ pickups, while the gorgeous knife-edge tremolo makes it easy to embellish chords or lead lines with smooth vibrato whenever inspiration strikes!

Key Features

• Okoume Body — A popular tonewood often likened to Mahogany for its warm and sustain-rich sound; giving the Marquee some extra sonic depth.
• Canadian Hard Rock Maple Neck — A high-quality timber both strong and bright.
• 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 instrument optimal tension, so you can dig in but still bend the strings with plenty of expression.
• 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!
• Alnico Rez-O-Matik Pickups — These vibrant-sounding alnico single-coils are a recreation of Burns’ original 1963 pickups; created to suit the needs of The Shadows’ legendary guitarist Hank B. Marvin.
• Push/Pull Function — Engages 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!
