Do you KNOW vintage sunburst?

gofguitarKP · 04-01-2008, 05:41 PM

I always thought mine was a Vintage Sunburst Lp...but in epiphone.com they say that this:

Is vintage sunburst...and here is my guitar with good sunlight (No flash)...

And here my wicked flash!!!!!

What do u think? what is what?

Yours is the only real "Fireburst" / "Triburst" Epiphone that I've ever seen - it looks friggin' fantastic.

Mine is a "Vintage Burst" - and looks more traditional than what you've got going on there.

Does it actually have red in it, or is that just from the brown and yellow fading together?

I think the red comes from the mix of the 2 colors...but it actually looks like a red color at first look...much more red than the catalogs pics...

Look:

Yeah, it seems catalog pics are to be taken with a grain of salt (or something...). I've posted pics of my honeyburst several times in response to this point.......nothing compares to seeing it live and in person (or seeing a nice independent pic submmitted by a happy owner

)

Yeah, pictures from epiphone.com and other online vendors, the colors look weird. You have to see them in person to see the real color under normal lighting. I own a plain top honeyburst, and all the pics online for my guitar looks ugly! You would think Epiphone.com would have more accurate color pics for their guitars.
