This is a photo I've not seen before but I'm pretty sure that Paul Rogers is holding Paul Kossoff's Burst, the one that belonged to Arther Ramm for a long while. Sorry, I know a member here now owns it but I can't remember their name. It looks pretty pristine.

Man I open this thread and Bad Company started playing on one of my playlists. Talk about coincidence. As for Free and Kossoff he had a few bursts in his time. I can’t think off the top of my head many other English players who owned as many at one time as Kossoff did.

I’m gonna throw this out there and it maybe somewhat controversial and contentious but I don’t think there is anyone who’s got a better burst tone (from just plugging into a stack) than Kossoff.
His ability to shift from powerful chords to a light touch is something to behold.

He was (is) truly a master. 💯
