Honey Sunburst?

Looks like Honey Burst to me, just a very radiant one. :p
 
Yes I believe it is.

Here's mine:

Taken with no flash - only natural lighting.

It's a honeyburst. It looks "especially radiant" because it was shot dead on with a nasty flash.

They really look more like this:

Same bass, shot with flash:

Conclusion: flash is bad.

glad that'_smashed to death

~ I still have my dogeared '01 catalogue showing the official pre tobacco burst (73) desig as sunburst (70 = implied) ... and Now we all know that 70 = honey burst
~ in Real photography ($$$) flash has to be done Right ... factory elves can probably tell you all about lighting and colour temperature ... but of course Now, everybody with a pc & a dig.camera is an ad photo Expert and 70 can easily be made to look like 74 (personally ... if we're going to Overheat the Subject I'd rather scorch a Real_Babe in a C_thru)
~ bummer for those of us that don't have a major MM dealer down the street cuz catalogue and website colour repros are terrible representations of EBMM wizardry and yeah I know all about the disclaimers
~ maybe it's OK my TransPurp got ripped off since the RealGrape, as Wild as it was, didn't look anything like the Violet we had hoped for
~and now, back to clr # 70

===============================================
~ overflashed Honey burst (#70) looks like Cherry burst (#74)
===============================================

~ What colour is the Bongo in your avatar ? ... "????Green" / clr # ?? it doesn't look like EnvyGreen and I've never seen Teal Pearl (19) in 3D under "daylight"

I for one read only part of anything you write Rayan as all the added non functional punctuation is annoying.

That said have a nice day..

Truth be told--I've been much happier since I've started ignoring his posts altogether. They give me a headache.
 
What I posted was sincerely meant to inform him rather than chastise. I am not the best in the world with written sentiment.

I do hope it was taken as such.

Well since I didn't start this rant...

Rayan - May I ask what's "up" with you? In other words, what's with the fancy talk/odd keyboard characters/fancy avatars/etc.?

Not to be rude or offensive, but what's up? Sometimes I don't think that even you know what you are talking about...

:rolleyes:
