The vintage Burns Vista Sonic was a British-made electric guitar produced from 1962–1964. This rather rare model featured an offset carved double cut body with a bolt-on maple neck, three classic Tri-Sonic single-coil pickups and unique wiring with bass, rhythm and "wild dog" out of phase options.

Condition : Internally and externally all original.  Typical finish cracking, dings and other blemishes; Some cracks to the pickguard, Quite a bit of tarnishing to the bridge saddles and half the saddle screws are seized. Electronically everything works as it should. The original frets are quite worn in the cowboy chord positions but get better as you move up the fretboard. Most importantly the Trisonic pickups are all original and fully functioning. Comes with its original Hardcase though it has one broken lock and needs a new handle. Missing trem arm.
