I am looking for a burst finish on my next guitar. Burst seems to drop in and out of fashion. I just found this Nik Huber which is a bit out of my price range but has a great finish. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.674175919304207.1073741848.1173954 which looks real nice. What's the thinking on burst finishes? I like dirty lemon or tobacco and can't stand red.

    My thinking is that Nik needs to put binding on the Krautster and a plain ole hog neck instead of the flamed nonsense. Good job the ones I've seen all have antique furniture necks or I may have to dig into the savings.

    That was the first Krautster I had seen that wasn't a solid colour.

    I like brown burst colours. I've never been keen on cherry and the likes. I've always liked the brown burst irrespective of fashion, but I suppose the only reason to care about such is when its time to sell?

    Yes agreed I like tobacco and Bourbon red or cherry on wood looks weird IMO

    i like all bursts...but, i like the tear drop style burst. I can't stand the burst that just follows the shape of the guitar, unless we are talking about explorer/V style guitars, then the edge burst is fine.

    see below...1 is better than 2...in my opinion anyway

    Yes teardrop is the way to go. I almost bought a silver burst Gibson about 3 years ago but moved on...
