Gibson fans: what color is this considered?

[Mincer]

80s era Howard Roberts Fusion, one of my favorite Gibsons ( I don't own one). I had a 90s HR Fusion III which was very different, but always wanted an 80s version. I love the color. Any idea what this might be called in today's Gibson palette?

[Jocelyn]

not a Gibson Fan But I guess that's called a Tabaco Sunburst. I like this colour.

[Coma]

Hard to tell from the photo, it's a bit de-saturated, but I'd say either Tobacco Sunburst or Vintage Sunburst.

Sunburst?

I'd say Vintage Sunburst- Tobacco Sunburst is usually alot lighter in the middle. could also be tri-color burst

[Chris of Arabia]

I think that's the Vari-Brown finish...

[phil_104]

That color is considered to be elegant and well suited for that guitar.

Tri-Burst might be a close match. I feel like it could be, if the yellow in the middle faded a bit... all bursts are different though.



I've always associated tobacco burst with a harder black edge, and vintage sunburst doesn't really have that orange quality to the mid fade, although my J45 has a similar color, but with a harder black edge.

Interesting.

[Mincer]

Yeah... The HR Fusion I had had Much more defined colors with a bright yellow and very dark edges. BTW, the later models had a center block of balsa wood (!?!) and the 490 pickups made it super bright. I think it is time for this original model to make a comeback.

[Funkfingers]

Might even be called Antique Sunburst.

Mid 80s Gibson? That'd most likely be Vintage Sunburst, or a tobacco burst that has faded. Although most VSBs I've seen have a slightly lighter brown around the edge.

EDIT: sorry ... I have no idea what modern Gibson finish would be similar.

[Boogie Bill]

I'm pretty sure it was called Tobacco Sunburst.

[tonello]

Vintage burst. It looks the same as the Faded LP Jr that Gib's making.

[some_dude]

Vintage burst is golden yellow into black.

Tobacco burst is golden yellow into dark burgundy.

That guitar is a tobacco burst.

[TheProphet]

Vintage burst is golden yellow into black.

Tobacco burst is golden yellow into dark burgundy.

That guitar is a tobacco burst.

Ahhh but mid 80s Vintage Sunburst was golden yellow to dark brown.

Of course that's a moot point as we're supposed to be talking about modern finishes .. so I have no idea where I'm going with this. Sigh ... Long day.

[GuitarDoc]

Tobacco burst.

Definitely not tri-burst.

[brunogio]

I may be wrong but I thought Vintage Sunburst was the markrting name for what a lot of people call tobacco burst

Tri color or Fireburst has the red tone between the brown and yellow

[SchecMan]

< That's vintage sunburst...

[tone4days]

yeah, tobacco burst would be my guess

pretty guitar
