Label print change or a truss rod cover print. Could be the shade of the burst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozz Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 To my eye the standard vintage sunburst leans a little more yellow towards the center and the Montana sunset burst leans a little more orange/red. But they are pretty close to the same. Here are a couple of examples I have. 2015 J-45 Custom with Vintage Sunburst 2015 Sheryl Crow SJ with Montana Sunset Burst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Yes, the normal burst is more brownish/yellow, while the Montana Sunset burst is more on the red/orange side. Here is mine in very bright sunlight with the Montana burst version, same model as above, but different pickguard added. https://flic.kr/p/23pB5Ny Same guitar, but photo taken indoor with flash. https://flic.kr/p/24qoC5S Here is a vintage sunburst one, as a comparison. https://flic.kr/p/23pB5X1 I would say that my photos accentuate the red colors. The photo in the in the post above is better at showing the colors under normal circumstances. It's really a very pretty burst variation, and one which I personally like a lot.
