Does Antigua count as a burst for this thread? :ph34r:

I have an Antigua Strat, which I think looks nice. Which is just as well, as it's far too heavy to pick up and play :lol: I also used have a tasty tobacco Aria LP copy. I don't think I've ever had a 'burst' bass though...

OK - even for an ACG - that is gorgeous.
I have to agree broadly with the nausea over nasty finishes. IMO 3, 2 or other combination sunburst, tobacco burst, etc - can be wonderful if it's done right, an pretty unpleasant if it's done wrong.

Right:

Wrong:

IMO of course.

I never used to like sunburst, especially when people called it 'tobacco burst' (which may or may not be the same thing, I'm not sure) but I have developed GAS in recent years. More of a fan of 2-tone, than 3- tone.

Has to have a maple neck. How can you not like this?

I love sunburst and hate any finish that isn't transparent. I like to see the wood. I don't like the type of sunburst that has almost a clean stripe of red between the black and the brown though. Not keen on green burst either.
