Thanks guys,  some of those old Fender burst finishes really look nice, even after 41 years!  They are prone to chipping, but they are still quite beautiful.

I suspect one of the important factors is that they haven't been exposed to much sunlight.  The reds and earth tones in 'bursts seem especially vulnerable to sun fade.

I put Rotosounds jazz flats on mine and it thumps like crazy!  Since it was a guitar body originally, it didn't have those dual thumb rest holes in the top, but it is set up for a pickguard.  I'm tempted to make one for it!
