Default Give me your opinion ..to burst this guitar or not
This is a rock maple birds eye/curly maple guitar with a Sitka top (some bears got after it)

I cannot decide whether or not it should get a nice tobacco sunburst finish or no. Give me some feedback if you don't mind..

I was not always a fan of a burst but recently I find them to be attractive, particularly a Tabaco burst. So I vote go with a burst. For no other reason then I think they are cool.

Both my Martin HD-28 and Rainsong have a tobacco bust and I have a Furch D33LR cutaway ordered for this summer coming with a tobacco bust. I can send a pic/vid if you want to see it.

If the neck will be fancy (bound, fancy fret markers, etc.), sunburst.
If the neck will be austere, natural.

Give it an archtop treatment where you burst the back and sides too.
