The Sunburst Guitar Thread

[Spudman***]

Cool, I love sunbursts and don't have one yet. If my Hagstrom was not red, it was going to be tobacco sunburst (I hate that color name but love the color). I look forward to seeing some beautiful guitars here.

Here's mine.

CSB Gibson LP Studio DC:



Fernandes Ravelle Deluxe Tangerine Burst:



Fender Tex-Mex Tele Special, Tobacco Burst:



Another, darker, Tobaccco Burst, my Epi Thunderbird:



Gibson Les Paul Classic Honey Burst:

[M29]

I can't forget the old '51.

Me, I gots two--a nice one and an el cheapo:

My Epiphone Elitist Les Paul Standard:



My Fullerton ST-4 "Fat Fully" reverse-burst (bought for $24--really--during a legendary Music123 stock blowout):

Nice guitars, but nothing to contribute. I did go to a music store at lunch today (found one less than 10 minutes from work) and they had a ES335 that would fit nice in this thread, but $$$$$ ($3500). It was a true US Gibson made in Nashville.

[Spudman***]

Is this a burst? Does it qualify?


I know this one does because it was called a Silverburst when it was being marketed.


I forgot about this one. I still have mine but no photo.

Close enough. I'm saying that because I'm afraid you'll start a "Purple Guitar Thread" and post 6 or 8 more....

Oh, now there's an idea.

All I have is my '83 Strat

and my Danelectro Baritone which is a blue burst but I don't have a decent photo of.

I had a pawnshop chance at one of those freaky faceplate-input Strats back in the '90's and probably shoulda snapped it up. Sigh. Another missed opportunity.

Well, someone needs to rectify that.

I love it. It sounds and plays much better than my 1991 American Standard Strat. The best $400 guitar I've purchased (yet).

OK...so my CHERRYburst G&L ASAT Classic Bluesboy is a borderline post the 'Red Thread'...but here's my 'more traditional' sunbursts, be they 'vintage' or 'violin' :
Epi Casino

Rick 360-12BWB...'Autumnglo' being Rick-speak for this custom brown/red 'burst

Hofner Icon Series B-Bass

...and, a little cousin, Washburn M6SW Mandolin

[sunvalleylaw]

I would like me a mando like that some day. Looks nice! As do the others. I love that Ric! : :

[Spudman***]

I really like the looks of that Epi Casino.

Spud...the Casino is an '05 Peerless (Korean). A lucky catch.

SVL... The Rick? 27 years young, Rick's 1st attempt to market a reissue of the Harrison model that wasn't quite true to vintage specs (the tailpiece a glaring mismatch and Autumnglo was an option I chose vs. the true redder 'Fireglo' of Harrison's, but it's priceless. With the Hofner bass and Casino, I've got my poor-man's 'Beatles' lineup (sort of...not really authentic) The M6SW is a top notch mando, Korean build: solid carved maple back & sides, solid AAA carved spruce top. It rings.

Believe it or not this is a 'burst (albeit a "have to look so hard it may as well not be" black/dark brown burst). It's impossible to photograph the colour gradation.



The slightly orangey cherryburst of my Dot



And for something more traditional, the old-style Gibon 'burst of my J45 (please ignore the blonde tele)
