Any other "burst" fans out there?
If you'd asked me a couple of years ago if I liked bursts I'd have said, "Not really." Now here I am all in burst.
 Wasn't supposed to happen. In fact, I've never bought a guitar because I wanted burst. I always buy based on tone and playability. But when I got a J-45 burst came with the territory. Same for the CEO 7. Then through a weird set of circumstances, I recently did a straight swap with a touring musician - my Gibson Songwriter for this sweet Taylor 712e - that saw the last non-burst leave the house. Here's my burst herd. I guess that makes me a burst fan. You?

I'm a fan but one (my J-45) is all I would want. I would get bored looking at more than one. I like variety.

In 1977, seven years into my playing, I absolutely detested sunbursts. I wanted any color other than sunburst. But when I was hired into a hot band, needed a serious guitar, and could only afford a used one, all I could find was this:
   I swore I'd trade it as soon as possible, but I slowly fell in love with it and still love it. Good thing! That particular sunburst color was only shot for a couple of years. Bob
