Drowning in Guitars has recently made a nice video of a sunburst Burns. Very good stuff.

Drowninginguitars is(or was) selling one of those on reverb the other day (they are selling off a lot of rare guitars they hold on to)

Apparently this is one of multiple Yamaha copy's, this is a sg-2 copy, mory made one of the sg-2a and then there are the ural guitars.

Anyways, super awesome guitar, I bet it has a very unique sound!
