fxdx99 83 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 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... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Vintage burst - yes, think that's what my 525 is. I really like how Heritage bursts look - great examples! Link to post Share on other sites

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? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

pressure 267 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) 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. Edited February 14 by pressure 4 Link to post Share on other sites
