Specialist note

Inspired by the popularity of Burns guitars with 1960s British rock bands, Rodgers purchased this Burns Cobra around 2000 to capture that sound and draw inspiration from it. During this time he worked heavily in writing and producing video game soundtracks such as Rise of Nations, Halo II, and Conker. This guitar can be heard on the song Surf Punks, written with Dweezil Zappa, for the video game Conker: Live and Reloaded.
