Burns-Weill (1959-1960)
A fruitful collaboration between Jim Burns and Henry Weill was begun in
1959. Weill was responsible for the electronics, and Jim Burns for the
woodwork. Towards the end of 1959, the collaboration between Burns and
Weill was unfortunately cut short under less pleasant circumstances. Jim
went in his own direction with Burns London Ltd., and Henry started Weill
London and continued with production of the guitars developed during the
time of collaboration. As the names started to get confusing, he changed
the name to Fenton-Weill (after the first guitar.)

One example:
Fenton Guitar / 59. This was the first serially produced guitar by Henry Weill and Jim Burns. It was inspired by the popular, imported Guyatone guitars. It was a fairly primitive guitar, produced only in small quantities.
You will find more Burns-Weill guitars in the new Burns book "Pearls and Crazy Diamonds": - The Super Streamline RP1G and RP2G
