I used to own it. It's a KILLER guitar. Very aggressive sounding...just a great rock guitar.

Thank you so much for the info CD and for confirming my suspicions! I thought I was just seeing things I wanted to see! I can't wait to hear the guitar on the new BCC album! We're really getting spoiled with all those "Burst" tones on record!

I am really looking forward to BCCs new album. Hope there are some true vintage tones on it.

How many Bursts does JB own now? Well at least he played more than even the biggest collectors own.

Is Sandy back with TW again, must have been a very sentimental moment for JB to hand it back.

I think he has the needle in his arm now ;)

At least this tone monsters luckily are used now for what they were designed, not being a pricy filler for a safe or looking nice on some walls.

He still has it. I believe it is being used in the Studio for the next BCC recording.

How is the one on the right now falling over? Doesn't look like there is enough amp to hold it up.
