Description

*This is a used guitar in very good condition
*This is a consignment item
*Includes hard shell case

*Observations: Here's one you don't see every day! These British made Bisons from the mid-60s are rare, with their twangy tones, gnarly out of phase positions and distinctive forward-swept "horns", and its even rarer to find an example as nice as this one. Very good condition here, especially for a guitar getting close to its 60th birthday. The surface of the guitar and the pickguards have scratches from a fair amount of playing time and there are some dings and dents here and there, including a larger dent on the top just north of the bridge. However, as stated before, this guitar really does look great for its age. The frets are small but have surprisingly little wear. These guitars aren't known for playing super fast, but playability is decent and the Burns "Rezo-Tube" vibrato works great for vintage-style vibrato effects. The electronics work well. There is a little scratchiness, but all the classic twangy Burns sounds are here, perfect for delivering all your favorite Hank Marvin licks in style!
