Baldwin - Burns Double Six Model 12 String Solid Body Electric Guitar (1966), made in London, reddish orange poly finish, sycamore body, maple neck, black tolex original hard shell case.
One of our favorite electric 12-strings ever and a true 1960's classic, the Burns Double Six with its wide comfortable neck and three powerful Tri-Sonic pickups is a versatile and great-sounding guitar. It is always a supremely striking instrument, and this particular example with a very unusual solid red/orange finish is very unique�this color was not offered as standard on the Double Six (it was used on the Baby Bison and Nu-Sonic), and this is the only one like this we have ever seen.
This guitar is in extremely well-preserved condition, with no modifications and only minor wear.
This guitar was made in May 1966 (there is a dated inspector's tag inside many Burns instruments) not long after the US Baldwin company had taken over the London-based Burns operation in September 1965, and is identical to the original Burns version except, of course, for the "Baldwin" logo.
One of the best of all Burns instruments and a unique example of a very cool guitar, favored by the Searchers, The Troggs, and even Elvis!
Overall length is 42 1/4 in. (107.3 cm.), 14 in. (35.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm.) deep. Scale length is 25 1/2 in. (648 mm.).
Well-preserved with minor dings and some finish fade and checking. Switch tip is not original, and there is a well-repaired pickguard crack visible just over the control area.
Original case is also excellent. Excellent Condition.
