The Sunset Burst (Tri-Burst) Done Well

Recommended Posts

Marv Lamb and Floyd Newton were masters of this finish.  The goals were to do this symmetrically, tastefully, and with smooth color transitions.  Bad jobs are asymmetric or have discreet bands of color.

The guitar below is a great format for this burst because of the maple neck.

Marv built my Sunset Burst H-525 Custom.

I remember holding out on sending you the photos.  I can be a dick at times.  ?

Hey Daniel...

The amp is an early 'green board' Fender Blues Jr., modded to the hilt, including a Tone Tubby speaker. 

The custom cabinet is flame maple w/purpleheart, made by the now defunct Sultone Custom Cabs.

I don't really know about Blues Juniors as the few that I heard were not my kind of amps, smaller sounding and thin, but I've heard they can sound really good with mods (BillM), and I like tone tubby speakers. The cabinet though is a work of art! And I've commented on that guitar before, it's a beauty!
