Vaguely on topic - I got the Al Di Meola Live At Montreux 1986/1993 DVD this week and on both concerts he's playing a sunburst model. The one in the '86 concert is the dirtiest guitar I've ever seen on stage for finger marks all over it. The '93 one isn't much better (the Roland pickup covers up a lot of it). I've never really been a fan of sunburst, but his Legends look absolutely beautiful when the light catches them from the right direction and you can't see the fingerprints. There are obviously hours of close ups on his guitars and the sunburst is absolutely perfectly executed. Stunning.
And they don't sound too bad either.....
Maybe next time I order an O....
