The Steer was originally developed in 1979, only
40 were made and the Guitar was never reviewed at
that time. It was endorsed by International artist
BILLY BRAGG and it is still his favourite guitar
to this day.
Paul Day in Guitarist wrote: "Playability is
excellent, as are the sounds, and these combine
with an abundance of original character that succesfully
captures virtually all the essence of Jim Burn's
original intentions"
This Guitar is quite unique in its construction;
a solid Bass wood body is routed out on both sides
of the pickup cavity to not only make the Guitar
light but give it a more airy and earthy sound,
fitted with a solid top and fitted with a Burns
split humbuking pickup at the bridge which can be
made single coil by the flick of a switch, and a
high powered single coil at the neck.
The Steer is a very versitile guitar giving a noticeably
audible vintage twang sound when both pickups are
in use and powerful clean lead sound using the bridge
pickup only.
The neck is made from Hardrock maple and is 25 1/2
inch scale length.
