What sort of info?
As for opinions, I have high ones regarding Burns. I would do some crazy things to get my hands on a nice black Bison.

Can't buy it now, but I see them everyonce on a while. Just think they are kinda cool. I played a 60's style steer at Willlies in St.Paul; sweetest vibrato I ever played. Wow was it touchy

The one they had at Willie's was a 335 thickness but looke more acoustic (kinda like the Burns Steer? The action was one of the best I have ever played and the vibrato was the most sensative I have everseen. It was a joy to play. I don't see it listed on their site, they might have sold it. They were asking $1600.00, if I had the cash, it would of been mine!!! The headstock was the same violin headstock. Sweet playing! Even S Rock liked it.
