In 1999, Burns London introduced a range of instruments built in the Far East to its own specifications.

The first of these was the Marquee, a budget-priced, three-pickup solid inspired by the Burns Legend, itself a replica of the Marvin Shadows Custom. This Marquee is finished in “Shadows White”; its other available colors include “Jet Black”.

The bodies of earlier Marquees were made from alder, but Burns has since switched to agathis wood (sourced from a rainforest conifer). Flamed maple is used for the Marquee’s 22-fret neck.
