A prototype possibly for namm or one made before mass production. It is a very cool guitar. http://www.gbase.com/gear/burns-bison-2001-reissue-black It has a little bit more fancy bridge and tremolo system than the one in the above picture. Does anyone know if this is a different model?Planet Woodstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07136038808010006920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-67833039759339616542012-08-31T02:47:50.445+01:002012-08-31T02:47:50.445+01:00@jack: there's no second trem bar, it's th...@jack: there's no second trem bar, it's the reflection in the pickguard...<br /><br />and about the sound and the selector, there is a good demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwd7or4WJy4bertramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528276269335424775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-87956584327179285762012-08-31T02:35:27.584+01:002012-08-31T02:35:27.584+01:00I'm deeply thankful to the British culture for...I'm deeply thankful to the British culture for having provided the soundtrack for the 20th century and shaping my life, but like Yorkshire pudding, some things cannot really take on the continent!

Many many great guitarists where influenced by them and good old Hank in particular.<br />The trouble is they sound a bit twee to modern ears but the arrangements and technicality although simple is second to none. It's quite easy to turn up your gain and blast out noise but to keep it in check like Hank does is a marvel.Antonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074911783665849229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-26355068133884987192012-08-30T22:31:24.289+01:002012-08-30T22:31:24.289+01:00The Shadows were never a surf band.

You must be aware of The Shadows connection there?Gavin Lloyd Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10937598384359522498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-83823769523978183192012-08-30T18:33:35.236+01:002012-08-30T18:33:35.236+01:00Interesting and crazy guitar, with two apparent my...Interesting and crazy guitar, with two apparent mysteries. The little one first, on the pickup selector switch, the settings: Treble, Bass and Split Sound seen logical enough but what pray tell does the Wild Dog setting do? All the pickups at once wired in series for a 3 coil Humbucker and a half sound? Wild indeed. The second mystery is what appears to be a second vibrato bar which is both smaller and blacker than the obvious vibrato handle. What does this piece of mystery hardware do? Inquiring minds need to know!Jack Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14125435793025487198noreply@blogger.com
