“I must have arrived! My new Burns Shadows Custom Edition guitar has Locking Machine Heads, a first for me! (Where were they when I needed them in the sixties…)
I’m here in my room twanging through a few tunes with Hank Marvin (also known as Django) lead guitarist extraordinaire.
He says the new guitar is fantastic, so who am I to argue? In fact I agree, another first for me.
The improved neck socket allows better access to the high frets, somewhere, at my age, I don’t venture too often these days.
Not to mention the beautiful gold hardware and strap-locks, all in all first class additions to what was already a great guitar”

Burns London consistently design and produce a superb range of guitars, so I therefore expected this guitar to feel right, play well and sound good. I am not disappointed!
Back in 1963, Jim Burns, the founder of the Company, worked closely with myself and Bruce Welch of The Shadows to design a guitar which would have the style, sound and playbility we require.
I am delighted that Burns London is still in the business of making quality instruments, and in particular this new BURNS SHADOWS CUSTOM SIGNATURE model.
BURNS has maintained its tradition of making quality electric guitars that stand out as different from the rest, Enjoy, I do.”
