The vintage Burns Shortscale Jazz was a British-made electric guitar produced from 1962–1964. Essentially a 2 pickup version of the Jazz split sound this rather rare model features the subtly-revised body shape with reversed waist and extended pickguard bass-horn and was the basis for the first prototype Marvin models.
This 1964 model features a flamed Sycamore body with a bolt-on maple neck and dual Burns Tri-sonic single coil pickups with a 3 way switch, Volume and Tone controls. Also features the refined Series 2 Vibrato system.

Condition : in overall very good vintage condition. Internally and externally all original. The sunburst finish on the front has faded quite substantially to a cool almost Argentine grey colour.  Typical age related wear and tarnishing but no breaks or repairs and Electronically everything works as it should. The original frets are in good condition with plenty of life left in them. Comes with a later period Burns Hardcase and original trem arm. Missing neck cover plate.
