Guitars always sound better than the same guitar in any other colour... why?

oh, I love scumburst, but it certainly doesn't make a guitar sound better.

Maybe it's to do with the weight. I have 2 JM's, one sunburst and one CAR. The CAR is definitely heavier than the sunburst and i've always preferred the sunburst.

T'was more of a realisation that my love of sunburst tricks me into believing this... if I play two guitars identical in every other way I always think the sunburst one sounds better... this is obviously utter rubbish but I still think "the sunburst just has teh mojo".

On this note I have two Telecasters in CAR and Burst, the CAR is substantially heavier.johnnyseven wrote:Maybe it's to do with the weight. I have 2 JM's, one sunburst and one CAR. The CAR is definitely heavier than the sunburst and i've always preferred the sunburst.

sunburst has no less than three alibi's.

I guess, on a lot of guitar, you could argue that since they use X wood over Y wood on their sunburst model; it sounds better. But underneath 1/4 inch poly, I still won't believe it.
And even then, on most scumburst, they use the same wood as the other colors.

It sounds even better if its a 3 color sunburst.

Depends what you mean by "better". Siena burst has to sound brighter than three-colour burst.taylornutt wrote:It sounds even better if its a 3 color sunburst.

Just imagine what a Sunburst would sound like with a CAR comp stripe on it?

Funnily enough, out of six Jaguars the two sunburst ones i owned did sound the best O.o

A little known fact : Sunbursting actually involves a long chemical process whereby supercharged ions emitted by violent solar flares are collected and refracted onto the guitar's surface. The natural magnetic field of the wood, albeit weak, causes a concentration of ions at the body's edges, hence the colour gradient. After several weeks the process yields a wood with an inherently more resonant microstructure and a richer acoustic index. Sunburst guitars do sound better.
