Limited Edition Burns Apache number 296 out of 500 produced.
Complete with case and tools and cleaning cloth, instructions, but unfortunately the signed certificate has been mislaid.
Honouring the Shadows’ 50th birthday, the new limited edition Apache continues Burns’ official association with Britain’s best-known instrumental band. The 50th Anniversary Apache may be all-new, but Burns have already used the name for an earlier UK-origin instrument made in very small numbers. That too was based on the Marvin model, but it appeared before the company had rekindled official connections with the man himself. Apart from its Native American associations, this special six-string is actually the latest limited edition example of the Marvin. Only 500 Apaches are scheduled to appear, and in keeping with its three limited production predecessors, the newcomer employs cost-effective Chinese manufacture, although final assembly and all set-up work is handled in the UK by Burns. As before, a deluxe case is part of the deal, along with a comprehensive collection of accompanying case candy.
This is in near as new condition as you will fins with o dings or scratches. Expect some polish marks.
Plays and sounds fantastic.
Although every guitar is checked at the point of buy in for condition we try to describe as accurately as possible and with the nature of every vintage, modern, used guitar you will always find blemishes held in certain lights that we have not solely pointed out.
These are usually very small lacquer marks or polish swirls and you have to expect a margin of very light marks that go undetected in usual lit environments.
