When I think of Burns Guitars, I think of  "The Searchers."

Burns Guitars were a big part of the British Invasion Guitar Sound.  My personal favorites the Searchers used them. The next time you listen to "Needles and Pins or Love Potion # 9"  listen to that clear crisp tone of their Burns Guitars. Some obscure recordings that I personally love include "Someday We're Gonna Love Again" and "Don't Throw Your Love Away" The unmistakable clear rich "Burns" sound is ever present.  The Searchers were very much pop musicians not at all like my other two favorite British Invasion bands "The Animals" and "The Yardbirds". When Mike Pender brought out a Burns Double 6 and the difference was incredible.

Elvis & his Greenburst Burns Bison

There are numerous photos of Elvis with this guitar, Most of then are poor quality. I personally saw this guitar at Elvis's house "Graceland" in Memphis. This guitar will someday probably sell in the millions. Be aware that many people besides Elvis used these incredible guitars in the 60's.
