ah ok, sorry about that. I think we can all agree that your jag is quite an attractive guitar.Hurb wrote:couple of things wrong with that, the jag up there is a 1969 jaguar as is mine. also I have heard the multi piece body thing loads. however my faux burst you can see the edge, and there is only 1 join. I suspect the multi piece thing did happen(in fact i have seen it), but the faux burst was more a thing to cover ugly wood that normally went on custom colours. and to give a uniform grain to every guitar.mage wrote:the faux burst jags were mid 60s CBS era. the bodies were made with multiple pieces of wood so they painted a primer coat to cover it up and then (like sublimedo said) they painted on a little wood grain effect. so it's not like a real burst where you can see the actual wood grain of the guitar.
I'm a fan of them too. they're kind of tacky but cool. I like how bright the colors are on the burst unlike a normal burst.
target burst and faux burst are completely different things.mage wrote:oh yea, it's called "target-burst" sometimes. yea, I think the colors don't blend that well because they can't mix in with the wood grain. so you just see them at their full intensity.
ps: yay zutons
