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.

Wow! Something even uglier than Antigua!

Now a nice, 60's Teisco green sunburst... THAT'S a beautiful thing.  :mrgreen:

Clown-burst or Crown -burst?
There was nothing in the world
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

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

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