Wow! Interesting photo Bill!

And still they turn up, these unicorns!

Where did the pic originate- looks recent/modern...who is the young lady playing it, and is she aware of what a rare guitar she's playing?

Most importantly, has Paul Day (dusty fretz) seen this pic?!

Thanks Rob!

Very interesting website!

I presume that guitar was one of the rejects by Hank and/or Bruce? :D

The Girl is Amy Mills from New York. The guitar did in fact belong to Paul Day so he is aware. Her friend now owns the guitar. Yes she knows the history. She has some nice Burns guitars and posts regularly on the Burns Guitars and Amplifiers Facebook page which is where the picture originated
