The venture is being led by Simon Gilson and Terry Hope, who earlier this year completed the sale of PMT, the UK’s largest chain of instrument stores. In a statement made to MI Trade News, Gilson said of the move: “There is only one true historic brand from England and that’s Burns. It was the one that was in right at the beginning and it has all that amazing history and still has tremendous potential.
“Speaking personally, at that time Terry and I were almost through the process of selling PMT and once that was completed we said, ‘Well, we’ve done it with retail, wouldn’t it be fantastic to say we also did it with manufacturing?’ The timing is right. There’s a cycle in the vintage market and we’re only three or four years away from vintage coming back and we’ll be ready.”
After Burns s’ founding, it gained worldwide traction thanks to an association with Hank Marvin and the Shadows. Jimmy Page was also a notable customer, as well as Elvis Presley.

Few would dispute the importance of Jim Burns's contribution to the development of the electric guitar in the UK. The fact that he designed Britain's first solidbody guitars and basses would have been enough to guarantee him a place in the history books, but Jim's accomplishments went far beyond that.
Through the guitar's boom years in the early 1960s, Burns instruments were the choice of many rising stars of the 'beat group' scene, including the Honeycombs, the Searchers and the Troggs. With the launch of the Burns Marvin in 1964, Britain finally had a solidbody electric that was fully equivalent in terms of sound and performance to its American counterpart, the Fender Stratocaster.
Here we take a look at the story of the Burns company, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary, taking in a rather special example of the Marvin model along the way. Supersound In 1958, Jim Burns joined forces with Alan Wootton of the Supersound amplification company to develop and manufacture a line of solidbody guitars and basses.

A makeshift workshop was set up in the basement of Jim's rented accommodation at 131 Queens Road in Buckhurst Hill, Essex and Jimmy and Peter Farrell, the sons of Jim's landlady Louise Farrell, were recruited as 'helpers'. Though they were primitive when compared to the instruments that Jim would build a few years later, the Supersound guitars and basses were nevertheless significant in being the first of their type to be manufactured on a commercial basis in the UK. Supersound's sole advertisement pictured the 'Ike Isaacs Short Scale' model, a single-cutaway Les Paul-like solidbody.
Jim Burns later stated that he made around 20 of these, but all of those that have since surfaced actually bear the later 'Burns Weill' badge suggesting that few, if any, Supersound examples actually made it onto the market or survived. Burns-Weill The collaboration with Alan Wootton lasted less than a year, but Jim's appetite for guitar making had been whetted. He promptly entered into a similar arrangement with amplifier manufacturer Henry Weill.
Once again Jim took care of the woodwork while Henry supplied the pickups and electronics. Marketed under the 'Burns-Weill' banner, the resulting instruments were the first to bear Jim's name. The range, which included both budget and professional quality models, comprised three solidbody guitars together with matching basses. Styled after the Japanese-built Guyatone/Antoria guitars (as used by guitarist Hank Marvin in his days with the Drifters), the Fenton guitar was priced at £35 while the futuristic RP2G Streamline Guitar retailed at a hefty £56.

Jim's partnership with Henry Weill ended acrimoniously when Jim decided to set up his own company, Ormston Burns Ltd, in late 1959. Henry continued to manufacture revised versions of the Burns-Weill models, now under the Fenton Weill brand name, but his efforts were ultimately eclipsed by the success enjoyed by Jim Burns in the following decade. The Burns Company The first guitar to carry the 'Burns' brand name, the Short Scale De-Luxe Artistes (sic) model, was unveiled in late 1959 and Ormston-Burns Ltd — a partnership that included Jim Burns, Louise Farrell and her sons Jimmy and Peter — was officially established the following year.
The early Burns line included the Artist, soon superseded by the Vibra Artist, and the small-bodied Sonic model, plus bass versions of both. Unlike the offerings from Watkins, Vox, Dallas, Rosetti and other UK-based companies, Burns products were never built to a price. The company's cheapest six-string, the Artist, retailed at £51 (equivalent to around £900 in today's money) while the top of the line Vibra Artist model sold for the princely sum of £78, a serious investment at a time when the average adult wage was around
