Love me a burst.

I would define a burst as a 1958 to 1960 Les Paul Standard

The new kid on the block

Gorgeous!
The highest priced one for me was the 1960 Reissue.

LP Tribute Honey Burst - Strat Ultra Burst - Firebird Tobacco Burst

 

[67plexi]

Gorgeous!
The highest priced one for me was the 1960 Reissue.

My most played guitar is a 1960 Reissue also it sounded good out of the gate but after 17 years it opened up
the wood dried out sustain city my other Custom Shop Les Paul a year older played it for six months put it back in the case
they sound the same now both are 8.25 pounds

To me that's a Burst with a capital B. I'd say burst with a small b can be any sunburst, any brand...

My favorite is Amaterasu, a pre-Historic I got through Guitar Trader back in '83.
Hand carved - 47 were made, and each one is a little different.
Nice deep scalloping in the top carve, like the original Bursts.


an old low-res pic shows the bookmatching better


CherryBomb is a Trad Plus.



I named this '98 orange drop Unburst, for obvious reasons.



Finish on my '05 Johnny A is called Sunset Glow.



Cool looking Zerberus in Fire Burst.



A tobaccoburst '49 Gibson is my oldest guitar.


1940s-style dark teardrop burst on this '52 Gretsch archtop


Mid-60s Framus with a low budget edge burst


Coupla Fender types, both set-neck guitars



And a truly awful clownburst on this Washburn BT-2 Maverick


A bandmate's '68 Goldtop got ripped off one night after a show at CBGB back around '89.
Bought this cheap LP copy for dive bars & rough neighborhoods. Named it Sonofaburst.

This DT McNaught VSC isn't mine (my McNaught is beautiful too, but it's solid orange).
David builds some absolutely gorgeous guitars.
