If we still have some Burner jazz sets in stock, we can sell them. Other wise it will have to be 2 bridge Position Flat-top Js that we use now. They should fit fairly close.

The Burner project has been discontinued for 10 years now. I have no intention of making any parts for the Burner at this time.

The 9v Circuits with 4 knobs are still abailable for replacement or repair. The Tuners and Straploks are available as well but the newer tuner handles are shaped slightly different.

I'm hoping to own a Burner Artist soon too.
The circuit and pu's has been changed to Bartolini though.
Would a new 4-knob circuit work well with the Bartolini pu's and give me somewhere close the nice Smith-sound or would I have to get the right pu's too for that?

And please if you could give me info. about how much it would be for you getting a circuit shipped over here.

Regards
