In 1992, Burns was ressurected by Barry Gibson, who employed Jim as a consultant in the company. Replicas of famous 60's guitars like Marvin (now called Legend) and Bison became "top of the line". The quality was high and the craftsmanship excellent. Some original designs were also created, equipped with Nu-Sonic, and Steve Howe among others got his own edition. Other designs included the Cobra and Drifter, as well as a bariton guitar called Barracuda. In the autumn of 1999, Burns London launched a new line of Korea-manufactured guitars (the Club range) with Marquee being the first design, followed by Double Six, Bison, Steer, and the Brian May Signature. In 2003 these guitars will be followed by the Scorpion and the Flyte.
