I think you'll find this is a better / closer copy, the tailpiece is correct and also the pick-guards which don't look right on the other one mentioned above and the service from the shop in Belgium is excellent

Posted: 30 Nov 2010, 21:52The name you are searching for is Les Wollaston. He makes fabulous and completely accurate Burns scale replicas. Marvin, Double Six and Shadows Bass.
Totally handmade cast from resin and to special order, of course this level of craftsmanship doesn't come cheap but if you are a Burns enthusiast there is none better that I have seen.
Contact him through Barry Gibson at Burns or get in touch with me at Oasis Music in Ringwood.
