The Burns Tri-Sonic is a single-coil electric guitar pickup, with ceramic magnets and a chrome cover. Tri-Sonics are wider than standard single-coils (e.g. Fender pickups), and replacing traditional single-coils with Tri-Sonics may require routing to the body of a guitar.

Originally produced by British guitar company Burns of London in 1960, the pickups were used in many Burns guitars in the early 1960s. A bass guitar version was also produced.cite book | last = Day | first = Paul | title = The Burns Book | publisher = pp Publishing | date = 1979 | pages = 11-15 ] They are currently produced by guitar electronics manufacturer Kent Armstrong. Queen guitarist Brian May bought a set of three when he made his own guitar the Red Special. They play a significant role in making the tone of May's guitar distinctive.
