The '2020' Guitar (1970-73?)

Remarks: Based on a Jim Burns design, this model had a semi-acoustic mahogany body, finished in a matched rosewood or sycamore veneer, with bound edges and 'f' holes. The head-face was ebonised to match the fingerboard. This is a very distinctive instrument, the attractive appearance befitting its position as the 'top-of-the-line' model. Examples are now not as common as others of the range.
