Fender's Tri-burst is my favorite finish out there.  |
Aww shucks dice, dunno about that.
Yours is a pretty damned good looking axe too. Like you, the burst was the much better of the two available. Really felt the business, was hard to put down and try the black one, I think that says a lot. The cosmetics were secondary to me too, actually I wanted to not like the Road Worns but when a guitar speaks to you, you have to obey otherwise the regret can be damaging to one's health. How many times have we heard about someone trying a guitar and going away to think about it only to go back to the store to find a space on the wall where it used to be.
