Well, I did say very few But jokes aside I stand corrected - the AV65 sunburst is definitely one that's on the mark and may have just become my new dream guitar...andy_tchp wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 4:13 pmThe AV65 series of offsets had sunbursts done in a 'target burst' style just like you're referring to, and are finished in nitro?jas24 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 4:54 amTotally agree... I love the striking sunbursts transistioning from yellow, red and brown/black, but feels that very few (if any) new guitars actually have that - regardless of price point!patski wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 5:59 pmI feel like sunburst is hideously inconsistent and not just on lower end models.
My KC Jag is a gorgeous guitar through and through but man, the sunburst is just effing sad.
I love the solid red ring in the center that has a prominent gold ring before fading to brown/black. When it's done well, it's striking and not boring! Most sunbursts are bloody boring.
Kind of surprising, considering almost all vintage sunburst finished Jazzmasters have that striking sunburst finish - you'd think the vintage spec new guitars would get a bit closer, even if they're using poly instead of nitro.
I should probably have a caveat on all my messages that I'm an amateur/casual guitarist and I probably don't know what I'm talking about
