Purchased around 1988. Unfortunately, the photos are all in black and white. It also explains the history of Burns, catalogs from the time of sale, pickups, effectors, unique patents, etc. It will also be useful as a reference for those involved in guitar making or aspiring to do so. ☆ There are also lines drawn with a highlighter and pen markings. This is a used book, so there may be some stains. If you are concerned about this, or if you are unable to accept returns, please consider this before proceeding with the purchase.
