Burns Weill:
In 1959, Burns teamed up with Henry Weill to produce a small range of solid body 'Burns Weill' instruments, with complete electrical assemblies supplied and manufactured by Weill. These units were noticeably hotter, with visual influences similar to early Guyatone-manufactured solid guitars, starting to appear in the UK in the late 50s. As 1960 approached, Burns was keen to follow his own solo path and the Burns Weill partnership ended.
