Burns Bison '62 Reissue 2002 Electric Guitar Brian May Red Used

This Burns Bison ’62 reissue brings back the striking design and unmistakable style of one of Britain’s most iconic guitars. Built in 2002, this model pays homage to the original early ’60s Bison, famously favored by players seeking bold looks and versatile tone. The deep double-cutaway body, sweeping horns, and distinctive red finish make this a real statement piece.

Equipped with Burns’ unique Tri-Sonic pickups, the guitar delivers a wide tonal palette—from chiming cleans to harmonically rich overdrive—ideal for everything from surf and rock to progressive tones. The slim, comfortable neck and smooth tremolo system make it a joy to play, while the Brian May Red finish nods to one of the instrument’s most famous champions.

This example is in great shape, showing only minor cosmetic wear consistent with careful use. Frets remain in excellent condition, and the electronics are fully functional. A rare opportunity to own a 2002 UK-made reissue of a classic Burns design.
