These guitars are from a collection of early Burns guitars from a group of people in New York. Includes the early prototype Marvin. It looks huge to the standard version.

Thanks for posting that, Bill. Literally jaw-dropping...! There's a few albino ones in there.

'Early' means 'from the Bison onwards'?

Are the 'group of people in New York' the same people who have been trying for ages to sell Burns guitars at ridiculously high prices on eBay?

There are 3 people involved in the New York group . 2 of the work for Retrofret. They recently sold a 1963 left handed Bison for $2000. Not sure if that's high for over there. They have around 5 Burns on their website - I've not seen them on eBay.

The chap who has been offering some rare ones is Richard Davis Company who you may be thinking of ?

Nice collection!

Reminds me that I have an interesting Burns, recently acquired, will have to post photos of it sometime.
