"Great sound at a good price."

Quality:
Solid

Value:
Excellent value.

Desirability:
The sound is the thing on this guitar. I like the greenburst, but it's not the main selling point. It's solidly made; probably takes more beating and in my opinion sounds as good as/better than a Rickenbacker at a fraction of the price.

Sound:
Bright but smooth - "jangly" is overused but fairly accurate. I find it a very rich sound. I use it with a solid-state FET-based amp that claims valve-style distortion with a 1x15 cab or 2x12 cab and it sounds great.

Ease of Use:
The fretboard is wider than my '73 Strat but easy enough to play even with my short fingers, with a nice low action.

Overall:
Very tempted to buy a spare as they seem to go out of stock regularly. I'd like to try the tremolo version....

"Burns double 6 had it 2 weeks and love to play it, very happy, it is class, excellent finish and quality, what more can i say???"

Feature:
well made, but no extras

Quality:
no problem i cant fault it, the finish is perfect, its a green sunburst, wanted a red but not in stock, no problem this colour is nice.parts seem well made, cant

Value:
when i first checked it out it was a local dealer but i got the guitar from my stockist for £80.01 cheaper

Desirability:
i have always seen guitars as more than just musical instruments, thay bring pleasure to the player, the listener, and they are works of art, to be looked at and enjoyed, this guitar is a piece of art in my lounge sitting waiting to be picked up and played.

Sound:
good sound, would sound good anywhere! i have a Fender Tele U.S.A. cant compere them, but i love playing the both, they are as good as each other in different ways.

Ease of Use:
good sound great to play, i saw this guitar when i was 17 now i am 60 and i bought it 2 weeks ago, i waited a long time but worth it just starting to play again but its on a stand in my lounge with my U.S.A. Tele. works of art!!

Support:
never dealt with the company before, so i took a risk,they were very helpfull and lots of advice, not like some stockists i tried, but will do business again and now i have a Hank Marvin special on order with them.

Overall:
i am happy with this product but i am now thinking of collecting more, when i was young i could not afford a good guitar, i played in a band for 6 years and the first 2 guitars i played on stage i made myself, and they were good if i say so myself, but now i am older and can now afford the best, it makes me happy!!

About This Product!
Description
If you are familiar with the jangly, multi-octave guitar sounds of classic British bands like the Searchers, then you are familiar with the sound of the Burns Double-Six. The E, A, D, and G strings are coupled with another string tuned one octave higher, while the B and high E strings are coupled with another string tuned to the same pitch. Unlike other twelve-string guitars, the Double-Six utilizes a unique string spacing for playing comfort and allows the guitarist to play single note lines with ease. The instrument is perfect for those looking for an instrument to fill out their chordal work, or create thicker lead tones.

Features

Classic Burns headstock with chrome tuners

21-fret rosewood fingerboard.

Hard rock maple neck with 25.5 in. scale

Classic alder body with polyester finish

Three Burns Tri-Sonic® pickups

Five way pickup selector with push/pull control for providing 7 pickup combinations

Unique chrome Gotoh bridge with stop tailpiece

Bi-Directional truss rod
