Best Sunburst Refinisher?

Hey all,
I was exploring Austin last weekend and ran into a beautiful 1962 Jaguar in original sunburst at South Austin Music and was in love :? . I've been throwing around the idea of building a parts jazzmaster for some time and I was wondering who has the nitro pre cbs sunburst down to a science? I'm going for that deeper rich in color kinda orangy yellow tone, I've noticed with sunbursts there are some that are vibrant and some that take on more of a natural look.

Thanks guys!

I had a Jazzmaster refinished by MJT in that sort of sunburst. Their work can be kind of spotty, but I sent them a bunch of reference photos of the look I was hoping for and they matched it really well. I've had 2 bodies refinished by them - first was Inca Silver and they didn't do enough prep work and didn't match the color well, but the sunburst came out nicely.

I had them do a finish for me that ended up having to be sent back twice :derp: , but they finally got it right on the third time and it was absolutely perfect. It did require a lot of push/pull. That is good to know they can pull off a sunburst though!
