This cool, quirky and unique Burns Marquee Club Series in Shell Pink has loads of interesting features and is really hard to find in this finish.
Burns London, the historic UK guitar brand, aims to broaden the market with its quirky ‘60s-inspired instruments that really stand out from the crowd. Burns’ Marquee model just oozes with retro charm, but has the reliable and reassuring build quality you’d expect from a modern-day guitar. It’s the perfect example of old meets new!
Despite its radical looks, the core construction features of the Burns Marquee are very much in line with that of a conventional S-style guitar — so you’ll feel right at home. Bright vintage tones resonate beautifully from this instrument, courtesy of a trio of Burns’ proprietary ‘Rez-O-Matik’ pickups, while the gorgeous knife-edge tremolo makes it easy to embellish chords or lead lines with smooth vibrato whenever inspiration strikes!
Okoume Body — A popular tonewood often likened to Mahogany for its warm and sustain-rich sound; giving the Marquee some extra sonic depth.
Canadian Hard Rock Maple Neck — A high-quality timber both strong and bright.
Bolt-On Construction — Gives the instrument a “snappy” sound and response, so you’ll always feel musically-connected when you strum a chord or pick a note.
25.5” Scale Length — Popular scale synonymous with bolt-on guitars. Gives the Marquee optimal tension, so you can dig in but still bend the strings with plenty of expression.
Scroll Headstock — There’s nothing quite like it! Only this kind of headstock design would have been conceived in the ‘60s, and we love it!
Alnico Rez-O-Matik Pickups — These vibrant single-coils are recreations of Burns’ original 1960s pickups; Alnico 5 units wound on fibre bobbins. They were originally created to suit the needs of The Shadows’ legendary guitarist Hank B. Marvin. These present-day versions were reverse-engineered from an original 1964 set of Burns Rez-O-Matiks, so you know they're authentic!
Push/Pull Function — Pull the second tone control up to engage the neck pickup with any position on the 5-way pickup selector switch. This means that you can get a T-style tone if you select the bridge pickup position with the push/pull activated, or you can even use all 3 pickups together in switch position 4. This gives you a total of 7 different sounds.
The guitar is in excellent used condition throughout. There are scratches to the pickguard. It is in 100% original and there are no breaks, cracks or repairs. The frets are in great shape.
It comes in a quality padded gig bag.
