Bursts
I love Gibson or Fender bursts. Most others usually look a bit strange to me.

I used to only like the natural blonde tops but not too light in color. Almost like a wheat natural top. In fact I held out for a blonde top AJ when I bought my first one back in 03. But I've warmed up to bursts in recent years. My absolute favorite are those cherry burst J-45s from the 60s. I'm a sucker for that cherry burst for sure! I just added another AJ to my arsenal which is tobacco sunburst. If she sounds great, the burst won't matter! I'm still waiting on its arrival.

I really like the burst Guild does on their hog tops (I love how my M-20 looks). And Gibson is just Gibson... and I cannot wait for my incoming J-45.

I'm sure it has already been said, but I'm more concerned with sound than finish and I wouldn't pick a plain top over a sunburst, or vice versa, for appearance.

I don’t care for sunburst, i adore the look of natural beauty of the top bared in all its full glory with the exception of mahogany and koa tops where i thought burst seem to look magical

I favor sunburst guitars cosmetically and no one does it better than Collings IMO. But in choosing a guitar the finish is a non-factor for me.

Burst finishes just don't do it for me. There are others who love them.
But if everyone like the same things the world would be pretty boring.

I do not like burst finishes. The only tolerable ones to me may be the hand rubbed ones done by kim walker on his guitars.

Here is a pre-1929 Gibson Nick Lucas. I really like the early hand applied sunbursts, each a little different
