Some only have a little bit of yellow peeking around the pguard, some have alot of yellow.

Some have the red/brown going up the top horn, some have only black on the horn.

So, do all burst paint jobs (2 and 3 color) vary because they are hand painted? No two alike?

Yes, the guitars are hand painted using spray guns - so each one is slightly different - and depending on the wood, and how many colors (and which ones), the sunbursts can look quite different.

Watch the Official Fender Factory Tour (Corona, CA) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERV5E5uhLAM

At 5:00 - you can see a Sunburst being finished - by hand with a spray gun.

Or, at 4:23 in the Made in America with John Ratzenberger visit to the Fender Corona Factory - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5JzrdKHX2g
