Sunbursts

Simon Haycraft has been hard at work creating some amazing sunburst finishes here at Thompson.  His skill has been honed over years of working with Nitrocellulose Lacquer and the properties that it possess.

Here at Thompson our sunbursts come in a variety of colors and styles such as: teardrops, full body and neck bursts, soft fades or heavy bands, semi-distressed vintage, amber, reddish tones, smoky brown.  We can customize the colors making each one unique – a piece of art. They have learned just how much lacquer is needed to create the thin and high quality finishes Thompson is know for…. Click here for more info on our finishes. 
Please remember all of these photos are from a photography studio and can appear slightly different than the final guitar in different lighting situations.   These are individual custom applications of the sunburst color and are not exact replicas of the photos.
