![]() ![]() The British Burns company use greenburst finishes on a number of their guitars, such as the Steer and Scorpion. The American Series Strat HSS and the Strat Plus guitars are examples. Other sunburst varieties over the years included "Sienna Sunburst" and "Blue Burst", first introduced by Harmon in the late '70s and mid '80s. The finish is often transparent in order to show, and accentuate, attractively-patterned wood or wood veneers such as flame maple, but may be opaque where the wood is not strongly figured, such as basswood or alder. Some common types include "vintage sunburst", which is golden yellow in the very center and black around the edges, "cherry sunburst" or "cherryburst" - which is a golden yellow at the very center and cherry red towards the edges, "tobacco sunburst", which is golden yellow in the very center and brown around the edges, and "three-color sunburst," which fades from golden yellow at the center through a layer of red and finally to black around the edges. There are various types of sunburst finishes. Some vintage mandolins made by Gibson actually had a burst style finish achieved with stain that was wiped on to the top of the instrument and sometimes the back as well but sprayed tinted nitrocellulose lacquer later proved to be a faster way to achieve a burst finish. It was originally intended to imitate an aged German finish, as applied to classical string instruments such as violins, as well as to enable the use of wood with less attractive edge grain on high-end instruments. Among the best known examples of a sunburst finish are the Gibson Les Paul guitars and the Fender Stratocaster. At the center of a sunburst-finished surface is an area of lighter color (often showing the wood grain underneath) that darkens gradually towards the edges before hitting a dark rim. Sunburst is a style of finishing for musical instruments such as electric and acoustic guitars and electric basses. Once the Instruction, Activities and Final Challenge have all been completed, and passed, the student can move on to the next lesson.A Fender SRV Signature Stratocaster electric guitar in a three-color sunburst finish.

To modify the settings so that errors are allowed you'll need to change the User Options.We recommend turning off this setting and allow errors in the security checks. 100% accuracy is required for this step, by default, errors will return students to the beginning of Step 2. ![]() Overlay Hand Support (can be turned off by teacher/admin).Each Lesson consists of 4 to 7 instructional steps.Current Goals (Words per Minute and Accuracy).Lesson Instruction (accessed by clicking BEGIN): Custom Content (if created & assigned by teacher).Activities: Big Ideas, Dig This, Drone Control, Message Master, and Reconnect ( see grid for more information). ![]()
