Hey all, I thought it might be interesting to run a poll that covers the bursts that you're most likely to find on stock-built Hamers. I know there are more bursts out there - let's just pretend that you've won a Hamer and that it has to be finished in one of the three usual suspects.

My guess is that Darkburst is going to come out on top....

Looking forward to your votes and comments! /emoticons/default_blink.png

Darkburst. Love the look.

Seems like there can be a huge variation in what is a '59. The mid-90s Archtop Studio Custom I had was mostly orangish-red with very little yellow/natural hues.

The Amberburst was on my Talladega. Very nice. But...didn't wow me.

 
Jazzburst on Limba is by far my favorite. For figured maple tops, i still lean towards a faded '59 burst, though, so Amberburst it is.

I voted darkburst only because washed iced T-burst wasn't an option.

W'IT is probably my fav overall (my custom Newport has that finish) though I wanted to narrow it down to the stock bursts that are widely available.

Amberburst and W'IT can look pretty similar from the top.

I like W'IT because of the cherry back (I think Amberburst, or Aztec Gold transparent on mahogany is kinda bland, but great on figured maple)--otherwise I vote for Jazzburst.
