Hi there,
Recently bought a new Chinese produced Double-Six from the Burns' agent in New Zealand for a little under 600 pounds. It is a far superior instrument to the early Korean version I had about 10 years ago and the tuning stability is amazing. (Aided by the brass nut and newly designed bridge no doubt.) With the addition of a Burns case, strap and tool kit, this is tremendous value and I really did not see any sense whatsoever in spending that amount again just for a rezo-tune trem unit and and few other enhancements. Actually, as far as I'm concerned, I can not see much value in having a trem unit on a 12 string guitar!?
Even the Burns London logo is now an imprint and not just painted on, so considerable progress has been made. Thoroughly recommend the latest Double Six offering from China via Burns London - and indeed the NZ distributer! Nice guy and great communicater.
Cheers
Philip
