I was a Burns enthusiast back in the sixties and seventies. By 1976 I had owned a Vibra Artist, a smooth scroll Vibraslim, two Double 6s, two three pick-up Bisons, a 706 335 look-alike and my first Marvin. Then I came across this guitar (see photos) in a shop in London's Denmark Street. I had no idea what it was but it was a Burns and had a price of £45 on it. I bought it on impulse but found it to be unusable as a working guitar. Clearly it was missing various original parts (term unit) but it did have a very nice neck and low action. After a few months I got in touch with Paul Day who was very interested and swapped it for a three pick-up 1963 Black Bison. If you have a copy of Paul's "Green" Burns Book you will see this guitar mentioned and illustrated on pages 52 &54 as a prototype Mk2 Thinline. Paul actually used one of my photos in the book, modified (pre-Photoshop!!!!) with an illustration of what the term unit should have looked like. I thought those interested in Burns guitars might like to see the original photos which I just dug out of my archives and scanned in.
