Kindest regards, Christopher
That photo was from the early to mid 1980s (probably no later than 1984). It did not feature any Burns six-string guitars, though there were two 12-string electrics, plus the white Shadows Bass supplied to the group in 1964 for use by John Rostill.
Other instruments in the image included Hank's mid-60s Fender Bass VI, several Stratocasters (red and black), a Martin acoustic (00-model) and a Giffin custom guitar with Gibson mini-humbuckers (or an approximation thereof). Maybe another acoustic guitar or two as well. Plus the Roland Les-Paul-styled guitar synthesiser. But I haven't see that photo for a while.
