FredZepp Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Yep, chestnut burst is quite excellent.... ( this is not mine...pics from the gallery )
squawken Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Here is mine on the right. Well, both are mine, but the CB is on the right.
bolero Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 thx, I've never heard of that finish, but I dig it!!
tbonesullivan Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 what is the difference between almond sunburst and chestnut burst? why do heritage burst colors look so much better than Gibson ones?
shook494 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Those are all gorgeous!! They do look more elegant than the G brand colors for sure. I really love the look of Thundersteel's. It looks awesome with the P-90's

FredZepp Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Here's my Chestnut Burst. A Millie Std. Ultra. I thought it was beautiful. It is beautiful... and a Millie with HRW's ...well , that is a great combination.
Thundersteel Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks for the nice comments, everyone! If I can make it to PSP III, it'll be coming with me!
chico Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 http://www.heritageguitar.com/finishes.html Can't answer the second question Is it me or is the Heritage color chart, a small patch of the color, difficult to convert to what a color actually "looks" like when applied to a particular model? for example, classic bursts like OSB, ALSB, CNSB, ASB look different guitar to guitar AND model to model. I think the H535 in comparison to, say, a H150 would be cool to see the same color applied to and then shown side by side. And since our beloved are made one at a time, even colors that are the same on the same model can vary, be a "darker" burst, for example, by special order or otherwise. A vintage sb on a H150 looks different than on a H535--yet both are VSB. For me, a ASB (antique burst) on a H150 is less appealing than on an Eagle or other large-bodied Heritage. thoughts anyone?
Blunote Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 It is beautiful... and a Millie with HRW's ...well , that is a great combination. Thanks for the kind remarks. I've been working overseas and have only had a couple of weeks with it since buying it around Christmas. But from my experience so far, it plays as good as it looks and those HRWs sound incredible. Just wish my amp had a bit more headroom.
Gitfiddler Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 ........Just wish my amp had a bit more headroom....... Watch out, Blunote~The only thing more debilitating to one's finances than GAS, is AAS!
