Clownburst - Another Stahlpakt co-operation
« on: December 18, 2008, 10:25:17 AM »
I was browsing the great website Feitsh Guitars. You can find the most strange Italian guitars and basses. All those weird sixties instruments.

And it seems the Clownburst was no invention of Herr Uwe, but from his Italian friends. It seems the Stahlpakt is still alive:

The "clownburst" term came from Steve Barr.

That is one ugly paint job.

That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

No, Steve was using the term years before that to describe the Gibson yellow to orange/red figured tops.
