Am I wrong, or are these backwards from what you would expect in reality? If either one was going to have the stripes "fade" towards the edges, I would expect it to be the sunburst models. Like they put on the stripes, then sprayed the edge burst. Why would the solid color model have a burst-like fade on the edge?

If you look closely the stripes on the black model show the red and the wood grain in the yellow as if the guitar was painted sunburst first, with the stripes being masked off when applying the black coat

True, but that would mean they either, a) only partially masked off the stripes, then sprayed the body black, or b) fully masked off the stripes, sprayed the body black, then removed the masking and then went back and sprayed a black burst around the edge of an already black body.

I'm getting way too pedantic about it; it just looks weird to me.
