Info on how many Burns 40th Anniversary Marvin Guitars where made be for Burns did the Modification to the Neck Pocket on the Guitar Bodie and up to what ? Serial No please.

Mine also has an original neck pocket - serial number 0388

Mine also has an original neck pocket - serial number 0097

I think the serial numbers were allocated randomly so there would not be any correlation between manufacture/issue and number. I’m sure more than 97 were sent out before I got mine.

Coincidence! 4 x 97 = 388, spooky or what Dave?

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

Mine's 0615 and it has the neck pocket.

I have Ser No 0175 with neck pocket - and the crack!....The strat type mod certainly has no appeal to me either.

Thank you all for the info back . Seen one for sale for £799 at a local Guitar shop with the Original Neck Pocket No 1946 .
Thought the Ser No 1946 was bit high for the Original pocket .
Reg Godfrey.

Likewise No 63 has the vintage neckpocket and paint crack

Mike

Mine has also the original neckpocket with no crack and the serial number is: 0195
