Burns BL-2500-WH Custom Elite Apache Noiseless Special
Unplayed - New in Box Condition
Special Edition Model
Celebrating Britain's Renowned Instrumental Group, The Shadows
This new in box and unplayed Burns BL-2500-WH Special Edition Apache is an update on the 2008 Marvin Custom Elite 50th anniversary model. The design was upgraded to include Entwistle's Noiseless Rez-O-Matick pickups which were not ready when the original 50th anniversary model was produced. This Special Edition model also features a 22 frets rather than the 21 frets used on the original limited edition run. The Special Edition model does not include the COA and tailpiece signed by Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch.
This new in box and unplayed Burns BL-2500-WH Custom Elite Apache Noiseless Special is based on the 1964 Burns Marvin. The Apache Noiseless Special offers added features like the Burns Rez-o-Matic Noiseless Pickups and Rez-o-Tube tremolo plate with heavy gold plated hardware, engraved with the Apache symbol, a highly figured Maple neck with Ebony Fingerboard, Pearl Binding and the word Apache inlaid in mother-of-pearl at the 12th fret.
The Burns Gear-o-Matik Gearbox was first designed by Jim Burns in 1960 to allow fine neck setting. Coupled to the steel truss rod tensioned through the neck to a gearbox with a hefty cog and worm which provides micro adjustment.
This new Apache Special is fitted with Burns ENR Noiseless Rez-o-Matik pickups that achive a true single coil sound in a noiseless format. Most noiseless “single” coils use two coils of the same dimensions mounted vertically in a single coil cover, the problem however with this idea is that the top coil is considerably smaller than a standard size single coil, thus to achieve the same level of output as a single it must be wound with a much finer gauge of winding wire than one normally uses on a single coil and this unfortunately changes the overall sound and dynamics of the pickup considerably – the true “glassy” transparency of a single coil is lost.
Burns and Entwistle Electronics uses a full standard size Rez-o-Matik single coil using exactly the same type of Alnico 5 magnets and winding wire gauge and then apply ENR (Entwistle Noise Reduction Alan Entwistle Chief Engineer Burns London) technology to this by means of a specially-wound smaller canceller coil that sits directly beneath the original Rez-o-Matik single coil. The result is a true Vintage Rez-o-Matik sound without the noise.
