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.

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: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.

target burst and faux burst are completely different things.
