A burst guitar finish is one of the most iconic and visually striking styles in the guitar world. Characterised by a gradient that fades from a rich colour at the edges to a lighter centre—like sunburst, cherry burst, or tobacco burst—it highlights the natural beauty of the wood underneath. Originally made famous by classic Gibson models in the 1950s, burst finishes evoke a sense of vintage charm and rock ‘n’ roll heritage. Each burst is slightly different, giving the guitar a unique personality that ages beautifully over time.
Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.
Standard typically refers to a classic or widely accepted model or specification within a product range. In guitars and amps, a Standard model often represents the core version that balances quality, features, and price, making it popular among players of all levels. For example, Fender’s Standard Stratocaster is known for its reliable performance and iconic sound, while Gibson’s Standard Les Paul offers classic tone and craftsmanship. This category includes gear that embodies the essential qualities musicians expect from their instruments and equipment.
A USA-made guitar is often seen as a mark of craftsmanship, quality, and heritage. Brands like Fender, Gibson, and PRS produce many of their flagship models in American factories, where attention to detail, premium materials, and skilled labour come together to create instruments trusted by professionals worldwide. While they usually come at a higher price point, USA-made guitars are prized for their build quality, tone, and long-term value. For many players, owning a guitar made in the USA isn’t just about where it was built—it’s about connecting to a legacy of music history.
