Someone told me they think there might be a difference with passports issued to British born and naturalised citizens. I had assumed that once someone had a British passport, that they had the same rights as everyone else, meaning they didnt have to apply for holiday visa's or in particular, an american holiday visa. I have looked on the US embassy website but i cant find info realting to my enquiry. Does anyone else know?

I think that naturalised citizens have the same rights as any other uk citizen. The only diffrence I am aware of is that the details in your passport might record your origin but you will be classed as a naturalised uk citizen. If in doubt call the passport office or embassy.

As far as I know a British Passport is a British Passport. the only difference will be your place of birth will be outside the UK and this should be included in the Passport, as far as I know this should make no difference. However the USA has rejected British citizens like Cat Stevens who changed his religion to Muslim so if you are a naturalised Muslim you may have a problem there.

Maybe the other person is confused about the old "right of abode" passports. But once a person is either born or naturalized a British citizen, that's it; you're a Brit.
And once any British passport is issued, it can be used to visit to the US without a visa if it has the correct features:
