This vintage piece of 80's craziness is a Burnside Lance. It came NIB from some store that found it that way in their store room.
This guitar is a great reminder that not all guitars can be catalog-cover custom shop Bluesbirds.
It plays well and actually sounds pretty good plugged in, but everything about it is cheap. The pots, the bridge, the build quality - they all scream "cheap import guitar". Actually the knobs are nice. The switch is not. The output jack was loose in the control cavity and was never screwed to the guitar. The way that is accomplished is dreadful.
Still, it's cool to handle a time capsule like this. Maybe someone should start a museum. The Burnsides of Bob? Any Bob's here? :biggrin-new:
