Hayman (1979 - 73)

In 1969, Jim Burns was offered employment by the Dallas Arbiter Organisation to develop a new range of guitars to be marketed under the Hayman banner. Here, he worked together with Bob Pearsson, a former Vox employee. The successful partnership with Pearson came to an end in 1971, when Jim decided to leave Dallas Arbiter.

One example:
Hayman 20/20 / 70.

Jim Burns produced a series of Hayman guitars together with among others Bob Pearson from Vox. This is the top of the line model. It is essentially a Burns guitar with a different name. The same suppliers that supplied materials for Burns – Jack Golder and Norman Holder – helped out. Rare, and a good player. 1970-73.

You will find more Hayman guitars in the new Burns book "Pearls and Crazy Diamonds":
