2/10

Agreed. Just do “Red burst,” and other very accurate descriptions of bursts. Except for Kool Burst. Then, you have to break through a brick wall. Oh, yeah.

4/10. Two I was pretty sure I knew, the rest were guesses. Ditto on the "there are too many similar/overlapping burst colors" line of thought.

Damn if I don't love a good Lemon Burst (or, if it's very slight, a Green Lemon Burst) finish on a top with some character... :thu:

The ones I thought I knew were all wrong. Guess I'm a good guesser.

2/10! I guessed on every one.

I don't know why but calling a sunbusrt LP a "burst" just bugs me. Probably because it reminds me of Joe Bonnamassa. I never heard anyone use the word "burst" to describe a LP finish before Joe. Its a sunburst dammit! Call it a sunburst. Resist!

Then again maybe I'm just edgy from being cooped up for 2 months and I should stop blaming Joe for my bitchiness.

To me, sunburst described a color - burst is the pattern.

As in Tobacco burst - it's not Tobacco sunburst.

1/10
I thought I knew at least half.
I kept thinking the right answer, but then I'd say to myself "naw, they wouldn't name it something stupid/ghey like that!", and pick something else....

Yeah 1/10.. i think the pictures were not defined enough to build a differentiation throughout the quiz.. inconsistency in the color saturation etc..

And also I guessed everything lol...
