Vote and tell me what's your favorite sunburst and why. If can, post pictures.
Here's a picture of my 1975 Sunburst Strat. I'm a big can of the 2-color-sunburst, but I like this one too. Over all, I prefer wide grain ash sunbursts.

Sienna sunburst. There is no better guitar finish.

And yet it's not on the list.

I said Blue because I have always loved the look of the Bonnie Raitt signature Strat.

Moonburst.

One problem is Robbie has not yet agreed for a public release of his signature model - though the CS did a limited run of 4 examples built by Todd Krause.

This guitar has three Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups arranged in an HS config - the middle pickup is placed side-by-side with the bridge pickup looking more like a humbucker - dome metal knobs and "Elite" electronics.

A must for the most discriminating Band fans worldwide.

Who is this "Robby Robertson"? Did he play with Stevy Ray Vaughan, Eddy Van Halen and Ritchy Blackmore?

He was a member of the group, "The Band." From my perspective, the fore runner to all the "folky" rock, blues, bluegerassy, type bands that you are seeing these days.

Check out the movie, "The Last Waltz."

I would call that mid-70s ash (wide grain) 3-color-sunburst. I really like that look. I'm not a big fan of the yellow washed looking sunbursts of the '60s.
