I bought two at the time no 61 and 62,(gave no 61 to a friend)...both guitars have the vintage correct neckpocket
The change on the neck pocket ,puzzled me...... Barry Gibson decided that after a few complaints from some owners about "cracked" paint
News flash for all the sissy's
.... an original vintage Burns Marvin has the crack also...so how about, going all the way to have it vintage correct
A Burns Marvin with a strat like neck outfit, doesn't rattle my cage
So when i phoned Barry to ask if i could order a greenburst 40th anniversary, he told me that they all have the strat neckpocket
So i ask Barry to build me a British made Marvin in greenburst , just for the color
because I already had 3 Marvins in white ( 65 original-1980 and the 40th)all of them have now the correct minor crack in the neckpocket
so the ones with the correct neckpocket are a chip of the old block
