Hi Rosemary
I had a Burns Marquee in "Greenburst" which I sold to part finance my MIM Hank Marvin Strat. Much as I like the Strat I regret selling the Marquee. It's not a case of Burns or Strat as to me they are both great guitars with their own distinct tone. I still have my Burns Double Six and will probably end up getting a Marvin....somehow or other!
If you get the chance to try a Burns I'm sure you'll like what you see, hear and feel.
Have a great Christmas.
