Location: south east Michigan | It seems like there is has been more of an interest in bursts around here in the last few months. Both Ovations and other makes. |

All one way or the other gets pretty boring. |

Some of the best bursts around come from there. |

Ovation has always done nice sunbursts, as does Collings. 4 of my 5 Collings are sunburst. Takamine actually does some nice ones. I just got their 2009 Collector and it's an amazing sunburst. Martin always did shitty bursts but at NAMM I finally saw one I rather liked. |

I can't argue with you. Collings Bursts are cool. |

That said, top billing in the sunburst department definately goes to Collings . |

Location: PDX | I think it's one of those "either you like 'em or you don't", and having the option of indifference.
Personal taste -- i don't like 'em.
But then i prefer my guitars without any shells or plastic compound on them and no fret markers on the board -- just on the side.

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I love the Ovation burst as well. My first American O was a burst. Here he is, my Custom Balladeer, 22 years after I bought him. After two decades of playing, he's got that filled-in sound and is aging well looks-wise too.

Agreed. I like guitars to be natural or black, but blingless if possible. Nothing makes me lose interest in a guitar faster than a burst. |

| I'm sorta partial to Ovation bursts:
But I have my fair share of naturals, blue and black, too. :) |

Properly done they are things of beauty. I am partial to the tobacco bursts over the sunbursts. |
