Maple fretboards ftw
Sunbursts are very odd, imo, they have to look excellent and they have to be either classy or all vintagey fucked up looking.

I love sunbursts on jags, jazzmasters, and strats, but I really prefer whatever the shade of blue mike's mustang is, it's sexy
I still really really wanna see what a Green Burst Mustang would look like with a black pickguard though

You're so completely wrong I would have to remove your brain for you to understand it.
The '65 looks like panned shit with white covers. You need CONTRAST.

One of the local shops has a Gibson Art and Historic ES-175 in sunburst. After seeing that, every other sunburst looks terrible.
I need to get a picture or something - it's by far the best executed sunburst I've ever seen.

+1. No dice. I tried black on mine and it was cool and all but I like how the white stands out. I need white ustang switches though.

i think having more than 2 or 3 sunbursts gets old
when there are so many cool colors
anyway enough whining

I just realised every guitar I own is on the red side of things.
The jaguar is sunburst with a red tort guard.
The jazzmaster is red with a subtle burst.
The strat is sparkle red.
The Ibanez is tobacco burst, not red but brown is in the same ballpark.
The only non-red guitar I have is the awesome cheapo burswood travel guitar (as rocked at doogfest!), which is black.
I like sunburst on jags, but not on anything else really, I can't see myself getting another sunburst guitar.

I feel the same way. Three of my five guitars are sunburst. The others are natural and wine burst. I didn't even realise that it was so boring until I came here.

Sunburst is my least favorite guitar color, because it looks like bare wood (the ugliest thing to make anything out of btw, I want to paint all the trees in the park daphne)... but with a ring of shit around it.
It looks sorta alright with a gold guard to distract from it.
BUT WAIT.
I forgot about my cheapo acoustic, which I think actually looks decent in sunburst, but only because it's so ugly, and maybe the pickguard shape.
If they'd had one in daphne, I might have got it but might not, cause this plays AWESOME.
