Got 'burst? Show 'em...

[fxdx99]

Playing around the house w/o plugging in while working on chord voicings.  These sound great unplugged, especially the hollow 525 w/the 'reverb adding' tailpiece.  535 I believe is 'sunset burst'.  Can't recall the 525 burst flavor... natural burst?  But anyway, 'bursts have the best tone...

Nice pair of Heritage's there Randy ... Enjoy!  A great thing to be doing while we try to dodge the polar express.

My three bursts, from L to R: VSB (Vintage), ALSB (Almond), ASB (Antique).

My other three Heritages are a Natural H575, Trans Black H150 and Goldtop H150 Special.

Chestnut burst,   Almond burst and the classic Cherry burst!

Vintage burst - yes, think that's what my 525 is.  I really like how Heritage bursts look - great examples!

Thanks, Gianluca. 

The floating pickup on the Golden Eagle is a custom wound Kent Armstrong 12-pole PAF.

All of these beautiful bursts!!  Great thread.

@Yooper...I thought ASB was Almond Sun Burst.

ALSB is Almond Sun Burst. Antique Sun Burst must have been designated before Almond. I still don't get how they came up with that nutty description. I see it more as a faded cherry. The run quite a spectrum of colors. I have a translucent "Amber" 535 that looks very wine red. Who am I to disagree with what's on the sticker?

Faded Cherry is what's in my avatar.   There's no "burst" to it!

Sticker reflects 'ALMSB' finish... which think is Always Lugubriously Melodic Sensational Band

This would be a Marv Burst because he did this as a custom burst for this guitar. Marv also rolled the neck for this one, I know because he called me to come up to Kalamazoo to try the neck in the raw. I'm not sure he knew it would be a 400 mile round trip for me. I had a Fab time.

Pressure: fab burst and guitar, Sir

Yeah, and to my eyes, if that Faded Cherry had a burst it looks like it would be ALSB. 

[DetroitBlues]

Beautiful guitars!  My only burst in my current inventory is not a Heritage 

[ElNumero]

'bursts is a term reserved for Gibbons guitars from 58-60
