Burns Nu-Sonic

[Oster]

Has anyone tried those Burns tele-syled guitars?

I notice they're available in the States and Canada but the price is a lot lower than I'd expect. I guess even though it says 'Burns of London' on the pickguard, they must be made elsewhere.

Are the pickups British made?

I believe that there are two different series of Burns guitars, but the lower priced ones you see (with a strat style vibrato) are Asian. I have never seen any around these parts (New England), though I did have the opportunity to look one over, in hand, in 2000 on a trip to the UK. Very nice fit and finish, though for me the neck was a little too thin and flat. They only had one lower priced model then, I believe there are several now.
