Jazzburst?

[oloboy]

Being somewhat colorblind, can someone describe jazzburst and how it differs from cherryburst, tobaccoburst, etc?

[Feynman]

As I understand it, courtesy of Sir Veatch...Jazzburst is a burst on both the front and back of the guitar.

Cherrybursts add red, which ruins it, unless you happen to like red, as most people do.

I may have mixed that up though.

Here's my Artist in Jazzburst--maybe that'll help answer your question:

I always wondered about diaperburst.

Heard about that one a couple times here.

Anohter composite of yellow and brown?

[oloboy]

So, jazzburst is a fade from yellow to dark brown?

Also makes me wonder why Rickenbacker used the term 'Montezuma Brown' (for years and years!) for their brownburst.

Looks like some Cognac in the Jazzburst.

Then there was BCRburst somewhere...

I had never sorted the whole story out myself either.

ETA: just see there's some nice porn in this thread.

My colorblind eyes are weird but I see red on Thundersteel's photos and dark brown in dgstandard's. Whatever the hell it is, I like it. Thanks for the pics.

Monty Brown is the best color- terrible name. But, did they use it for years and years? I got one in 2004, when it was their "Color of the Year". Here's the guitar:

Sharp-looking 381! IIRC, I think Montezuma Brown has been around off and on, since Rickenbacker's 'Tulip' bodied Combo model guitars of the mid 50's, long before it was 'Color of the Year' in 2003-4.

Here's some photos from 1958, the guitar that Toots is playing might be Autumnglo instead, but I don't see any red in the 'burst (well, maybe a little). There does look like some Monty Brown models in the display, though:

Jazzburst - the finish of champions.

Over korina or spruce, it looks superb. Not too bad over hawg as well...

Edited due to auto-correct woes...

Diaperburst. This one is still in the family some place. The drop filled screw holes from an added pickguard are the giveaway.

Love me some Jazzburst! My number one is my artist Korina in JB. My avatar. Love how the back of the neck bursts....
