The Baby Bison was Jim Burns’ last design for the company that bore his name, initially intended as a less expensive “export” solidbody Bison model for the American market. When the Burns company was sold to Baldwin in September 1965, this guitar was just about to enter production so “Burns” labeled examples are almost non-existent.
This particular guitar has the translucent orange finish, 1 piece sycamore body, and the scroll headstock. It has the original pickups, the neck pickup is a stacked double coil controlled by the middle “presence” knob, the bridge pickup being a single coil and wired straight out like a vintage strat. The tone and presence control only work on the neck pickup.
The tuners are non original, the bridge was replaced with an ABR-1, it has the original case which is in excellent condition. It is missing the tremolo bar for the “Rezo-Tube” tail piece.
