If only Burns had concentrated on making guitars, then surely the sale to Baldwin would never have been necessary? From what we learn in Paul's and Per's books, it was the resources diverted into amp making and other activities that caused the financial problems.
If Burns were able to have strong sales in places as far away as Australia, then demand for quality guitars was obviously there, so it's a real shame that the firm got into trouble at the very time when popular bands were giving Burns such a boost.
Did any of the first batch of 4-pickup Bisons reach Australia?
