On August 21, 1939, James Burton was born in Dubberly, Louisiana, but he grew up in Shreveport. Before he ever picked up a guitar, he would be beating on broom sticks and beat on pretty much everything else around the house. His parents got him his first guitar, which was an acoustic one. His second guitar was also an acoustic one, but it was in a J&S Music store in Shreveport where he first saw the ’53 Fender Telecaster and knew that this was the guitar for him.
Presley e Burton hanno deliziato i loro fans per sette anni. Considero James un ottimo chitarrista oltre che uomo molto composto e umile e perciò ancor più apprezzato.
Ernie Ball got a look at Mr. Burton's string gauges and decided to make guitar strings in James Burton , and other varying sizes. Thank James if you use a set of .09s or .10s
