The buckeye-burst?
uh..I dont think gibson did that
Hmmm... it has a flat back... And a carved top... and a donut-burst...
Must be an unsigned Loar.
I think this made the rounds before. That sunburst? is unforgetable!

That's more like a sunfizzle.

Reminds me of when Mom used to put a bowl over our heads for the haircuts... only the bowl goes in the middle of the mando while somebody goes crazy with the brown Rust-oleum.
Um. . .I'm no expert at these things, but it looks all wrong. Not just the sunburst, but the back, tailpiece, bridge, pickguard -- I'm guessing the headstock and neck are the only Gibson parts, if that. You out there, Tom?? Ken??

Being relieved to not find my picture on that link, I'll say it all looks Gibson to me except maybe the tailpiece and certainly the burst.Originally Posted by (August Watters @ June 21 2004, 19:59)
Those things had a thin mahogany back with an arch induced by one big ol' brace across the back.
Looks like somebody but the "soup bowl" in the middle & "touched up" the burst.

I don't know what's worse: #the sunburst or the over-use of exclamation points in the description!!!!!!!!! #Sorry, I teach English, and these things get to me at times.

Don't hate me because I know how to spell and punctuate!
I've seen black-eyes that looked better than that.

Ya know......Tammy Faye Baker has gone through similar professional going overs....with a similar outcome....
Ugly!

It looks like a perfectly browned flapjack on a griddle pan. #
