Rick Knight Contributing Member ********** ********** ** St Peters, MO USA Busy doing something close to nothing	Sep 10th, 2018 06:23 AM   Edit   Profile   I see a lot more 3 color 'bursts than Tobacco.
jhawkr Contributing Member ********** ********** ******* Wichita, KS USA It's all gravy from here on...	Sep 10th, 2018 06:47 AM   Edit   Profile   I like bursts and I have several. Fender, Guild, Ibanez, Gibson. Bursts just look classy. My Favorite Burst
littleuch Contributing Member ********** ******* Ocala, Florida Outrage is the new twinkie	Sep 10th, 2018 07:37 AM   Edit   Profile   Oh, I forgot my sunburst Jazz Bass with a tort pickguard and my Rogue mando is burst too.
Leftee Contributing Member ********** ********** ******** VA	Sep 10th, 2018 08:32 AM   Edit   Profile   "I like Cherry burst on Les Paul's but it seems a poor choice for Fenderish shaped guitar bodies to me for some reason." I've always thought this, too. Then Fender released the standard plus top Strats. That got me to rethink it a little as they offer a Cherry Burst. I'm building a Strat for myself, right now, and it's a Cherry Burst. With the right pickguard it is really pretty awesome, IMO. The wife and I are both eager to see it finished. I'm also building one to sell. I'll try my luck with this outlier Stat color scheme.
jhawkr Contributing Member ********** ********** ******* Wichita, KS USA It's all gravy from here on...	Sep 10th, 2018 08:55 AM   Edit   Profile   I have a "Select" Strat with a fancy top in burst. Strat Select burst
Leftee Contributing Member ********** ********** ******** VA	Sep 10th, 2018 10:59 AM   Edit   Profile   That’s a beaut!
Viera Contributing Member ********** ********** *** Boycott Amazon Thank you FDP sponsors	Sep 10th, 2018 12:12 PM   Edit   Profile   I like it too. I also like jhawkr's 2014 LP.
Leftee Contributing Member ********** ********** ******** VA	Sep 10th, 2018 12:26 PM   Edit   Profile   My clock has a burst finish. Internal link

HeavyDuty Contributing Member ********** ******** Northeast IL Not very bright but does lack ambition	Sep 11th, 2018 05:37 AM   Edit   Profile   I like burst enough that I even modded one of my Seikos! Not mine, but the one I did is almost identical
jhawkr Contributing Member ********** ********** ******* Wichita, KS USA It's all gravy from here on...	Sep 11th, 2018 06:35 AM   Edit   Profile   Ibanez John Schofield. Check out this fine backside!
RainboGuy USA/Wisconsin Ike Turner is my guitar hero!	Sep 11th, 2018 08:27 AM   Edit   Profile   Of all the guitars that i currently own or have owned, the top of my Gibson Nancy Wilson Nighthawk looks the best. The coloring and the flame is just magnificent. And as you can see from my profile, I have more than a few guitars.... And, as a BIG plus, this guitar sounds pehenomenal through my Fender '57 Custom Champ. External link

tahitijack Contributing Member **** San Clemente, CA Happy Sunsets, tahitijack	Sep 11th, 2018 12:53 PM   Edit   Profile   Like everything in this world, personal taste? I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard Koa top with a tea burst and always enjoy looking at it.
BlondeStrat Contributing Member ********** ********** ****** Las Vegas NV Can't complain but sometimes I still do	Sep 11th, 2018 01:11 PM   Edit   Profile   I like the Bass I put together (Warmoth) a while back. It's Black Korina and as a whole I really like the result. I like it enough that I have a *dream* of building a regular six string to match one day. I say dream since I have far too much on my plate at the moment to get real excited, but one day it may happen. G5 Tobacco Burst ... (Warmoth site PIC) (This message was last edited by BlondeStrat at 03:14 PM, Sep 11th, 2018)
Peegoo Contributing Member ********** ********** ********** * Head down, ears back Headed for the bar	Sep 11th, 2018 02:14 PM   Edit   Profile   It's odd that sunbursts are popular on guitars and basses, but you've never seen this paint scheme on a car. Until now!
BlondeStrat Contributing Member ********** ********** ****** Las Vegas NV Can't complain but sometimes I still do	Sep 11th, 2018 02:59 PM   Edit   Profile   Geno, I like that a lot better than many of the custom paint jobs I regularly see on cars. Hmmm, Tobacco Burst 54 F100? Now there's a thought.
Peegoo Contributing Member ********** ********** ********** * Head down, ears back Headed for the bar	Sep 11th, 2018 03:09 PM   Edit   Profile   It does look cool. That car needs a CSB Les Paul leaning against the front bumper.
