Members jtr654 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 I tried both today and will probably buy one. The only difference was the extra pickgaurd below the trem , the neck profile was slightly different and the trem was a completely different unit. Has anyone owned or played both the trem on the Burns had no visible height ajustment the BMG has normal ajustment screws. Is there any other differences that I should be aware of thanks? What kind of Trem unit is on the Burns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funderbunk Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 There's also Aslin Dane, who used to have a deal with Brian May which has ended - but they still sell the guitars, called the Bohemian. Among their versions is a triple P-90 hardtail version - go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members roners5 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 i might kill a hobo for this guitar.. can't actually help with your question though. I saw The Sounds play in westchester a couple months ago though and the main guit player was playing one of the old guild BM models- had some great tonez and I've been intrigued by them since... perhaps on my list of guitars to get (after a tele, 12 string ric, firebird, and another acoustic lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funderbunk Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Wow, isn't that a little blatant? How do they get away with it? Found this little nugget of info about Aslin Dane: "The line was introduced and marketed in the late 1990s by David Burns Musical Instruments, Inc." So, if it's a subsidiary of Burns, and Burns has deals with Brian May, that may be how they do it, as long as they don't use the Brian May name, perhaps?

Interesting, that's probably why. Bohemian is really cutting it close, but probably just distant enough. Or Brian May could just have a deal for them under the main deal with Burns.

Members ArKay Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 The owner of Burns passed in 1998 and his name was James Burns, it's currently run by a Barry Gibson. Aslin Dane's parent company used to be responsible for the distribution of Brian May guitars. I don't know how it compares to the original, I've never seen one in person. It has different pickups, a different fingerboard and is MIC as opposed to MIK. 25. I was just wondering what are the main differences between the new Brian May guitars and the Burns version? We changed factories to get better build quality, so, yes the guitars are different in that sense. The switches are white, the tremolo is slightly different, the truss plate cover now matches the pick guard and the half moon plate on the tail has been added. The current 2009 production model also comes with a Wilkinson vibrato for added tuning stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
