alyctes Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Sounds as if they might have been a set of prototypes, rather than an actual production run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1471644072' post='3114795'] Not as rare as the Hofner, and not complete, but... I bought (from this very forum) the battered remnant of an Ormston-Burns EUB. It does play, and the neck, pup, tailpiece and bridge are original. I knew it was a bit unusual at the time, but I thought that it would be one of maybe 100 originally made. Nope. Apparently, they made maybe six or seven - nobody is quite sure. [/quote] This is amazing! I have one of these too, in completely original condition (hence my user name!). The only issue I have is that the bottom spike is missing so a local metalworker is building me one now. The pickup is ok and the original owner used pint for Airfix models to touch it up but it's all there apart from one foam mute. As far as I heard they only made 8.
