The Warmoth version of Daphne Blue is a perfect hue, you guys leave Fender, Jackson, and the others in the dust. I was really impressed when I saw a Daphne Blue Warmoth Jazzmaster in person a few weeks back, it was gorgeous!
The thing with "Versions" of colors is that cameras pick up those colors that were the original Fender Custom Colors differently. It's the same way with some of the colors that Ibanez has used. There were a few models Ibanez made that looked like they were even glowing on video just because of the color they used
@@wesleyzimmerman94 You are absolutely right. I compared my 3 Daphne Blue Strats and my Daphne Blue Soloist with this Jazzmaster. My Strats look great, but the Jazzmaster had a deeper glow/greenish tinge in comparison, while my Strats were a bit paler. My Soloist is lighter than my Strats anyway, while looking more like Sonic Blue compared to the Jazzmaster. Pics make Daphne Blue look different for obvious reasons like lighting, camera quality etc, so I try to keep comparisons to in person only. Daphne Blue looks the best in person, Surf Green is a close second for favorite hue.
I just got in a Short Scale Pbass body in Satin Honeyburst. It's so damn beautiful. I put a Warmoth neck on it. The whole thing is just outstanding quality. I'm planning a Strat build that's gonna be in cherryburst satin. Gotta wait till next year though. I'm gonna go all out in the custom shop.
Tobacco burst was always my favourite of the traditional brown bursts. I have a 3 colour sunburst strat but I love the more natural, muted colours of a tobacco burst 😍
Really enjoy your videos. They've been very helpful! Would love to see a video on transparent finishes like this burst one. Also one on pickguards, especially what might go with colors other than white, black or tortoise. Thanks.
I am of the team tobacco sunburst. However I just finished my first Warmoth build which is a black korina jazz bass finished in black to clear burst. Love it!
My Blk/Red/Ylw burst Warmoth two-piece swamp ash body is the best looking version of that burst I’ve ever seen, the way the red is transparent and is perfectly blended from the black to the beautiful golden amber/yellow colour in the middle. I’m currently waiting on a right hand reverse SRV profile neck with black ebony fretboard to top off a fully wired and ready turquoise flake metallic Warmoth Strat body and then I’m looking at possibly Black/Brown/Yellow; black/yellow burst (or maybe I’ll go full bowling ball for another metallic flake finish) for a hybrid Strat body to build a 50’s p-bass inspired baritone Strat/Tele next. Only thing putting me off burst is how many of those squire ‘51 pawn shop guitars seem to be around in that colour now. Just browsing old videos in anticipation of more great Warmoth stuff 😂
I tend to prefer the three color bursts. I'm very much looking forward to seeing your metallic and candied finishes and bursts. I'm not familiar with those, and I'm always looking for ideas, or inspiration, to use as a starting point for trying something new. Several years ago I had a client who wanted a figured walnut top, with deep purple to clear burst, with a curly maple pick guard that had a translucent white finish. I couldn't visualize this combination coming together, but when it was completed, mirror-like high gloss finish, with custom pickup covers, grain matched with the pick guard, and walnut knobs to match the top, it looked incredible. That experience has allowed me to listen to ideas from clients/customers with a bit more trust and open-mindedness.
I like the Black to clear burst allot. I actually own a Purple to clear burst Strat style body I purchased from Warmoth. That finish looks so fantastic under natural lighting! I love it! I can’t wait to purchase another Warmoth body as soon as I make some more room for another guitar. :) Thanks for the videos!
Good morning, Ok, if I had to choose just one I would choose the Black, Brown, Yellow. Close second would be the Black, yellow. I'm glad you did this comparison. Thanks. James
I recently built a strat using a black-red-yellow burst body with a roasted maple/rosewood neck and absolutely love it, both the body and the neck are beautiful! I’m a sucker for the b-r-y burst but definitely looking at making a tobacco burst tele in the future 😉
I just ordered a Black-Red-Yellow burst Jazzmaster replacement body, I'm looking forward to it, the warmish bursts are so good. Team Black-Red-Yellow burst all the way.
Team tobacco here, but Your honey burst looks awesome as well, like a fireball. Also I thought for the colour palette there are some at least unwritten standards, so thanks for learning something new again. You're the best Aaron!
I love the Fender 3 color Black/Red/Yellow burst and Gibsons Cherry Sunburst after it darkens a bit. The Gibson color they offer now that I love is called Cherry Tea Burst/Royal Tea Burst. Warmoth has great taste in bursts, I’d love to have any single one of those bodies.
I'm more into the eye-catching bursts, like Bengal burst, Black Cherry Burst, Caribbean Burst, Jungle burst, Fire burst. I also love the metal flake options like Goblin flake, Holo flake, and Inferno flake.
Great video as always. The black-yellow looks green unlike the rest of the examples, or my dad's 56 strat which was clearly yellow as is was when I had it refinished in 86, no green effect. And it too was ash. Black-yellow is really sweet with single ply white or gold anodized pickgaurds. I also like the black-red-yellow with mint green.
having these graphics you put at the end of these video's showing a comparison would be great to have on the website, if they are there I guess I've not seen them but makes a big difference being able to see them side by side.
My favorite burst is Black to clear - especially on Black Korina. Preferably with a satin finish. However - when I ordered a body from you a few years ago I chose a mahogany top with a black burst - which in retrospect was too dark. The amazing mahogany top doesn’t really show that well... I should’ve chosen the black to clear burst. Anoyhow - next time I’ll get a Strat body with a black Korina top in black to clear burst. Then I’ll finally be happy. 🤘😎🤘
I love your tobacco burst. I have a honey burst Les Paul, which was a tough decision at the time vs their tobacco burst. I want something different this time but still want to see plenty of wood grain. Before I recently decided to do my own build, I was debating a Fender honey burst tele vs Sunburst. You tobacco burst kind of splits the difference perfectly.
It'd be great to see some of the dyes (which look like they might end up darker at the edges, at least in the custom body builder?) vs bursts, e.g. Tiger Eye dye vs Tobacco burst.
Aaron, Fender now has a color they call Cognac Burst that is very similar to Tobacco Burst. They use it on their new bluegrass series mandolin and I really love that one...it looks to be a matte finish, as well, and that gives it a different look, also. Dan Erlewine of StewMac says that Gibson's sunburst outer color is actually not black but what they call Dark Salem Maple, which is a black/ brown mix.
Nice one Aaron, good stuff, thanks. How about comparing some of these bursts on roasted woods vs non-roasted woods? What does the yellow center on some of these bursts look like on roasted alder for example?
My favorite has always been black/red/yellow. Although it is the leader on my list, most of the bursts are attractive, with few exceptions. Of the ones you show, I would say tobacco burst runs second, followed closely by cherry burst. The dye bursts extend the range of good looks, IMHO.
I am personally looking at a dragonburst soloist body warhead headstock build with roasted maple. Likely some DiMarzio Tone Zones, DiMarzio Fusion, or Bare Knuckle pickups.
I'd really like to see all your bursts and various transparent or translucent finishes on roasted woods. What will butterscotch blonde look like on a roasted swamp ash, for example?
I had a Gibson les paul in their bourbon barrel. That to me is an absolute stunning burst. Hey Aaron got another question for you to cover sometime. With the Great Guitar Build off stuff its been inspiring. So I have been doing a few full kits. Getting good at staining my own. Could you talk about your Body Blanks, Unfinished bodies etc. The kits are ok but might get 5 piece body, not the greatest. So been looking at Warmoth stuff like that. BTW Been missing you and your vids. Thanks again for all you do.
Have a cherry burst 77 LP, but i play my 82 black american strat 99% more so im not a burst guy, but if i could make a burst, would be red dye tiger with holographic metalic burst, idk, l love all the dyes and masked are sharp especially soloists lines but that holo paint is cool. Off topic but: As much as i love playing w locking tuners, i grew up playing them and have a distain for them, and the hex keys, i once had a kahler on a bcrich that used a flat head screws, i changed that, after learning to play aggressive attack high action heavy strings i moved to traditional trems for change string ease in middle of sets. Took one of my super strats locking screws off put Ts on it to change strings in dark lol
Any word on when the anniversary guitars are coming out or if the truly contour heels from the anniversary series are gonna be available to order in the near future? I'm holding off on buying my first warmoth in case these things are coming soon. Thanks :)
Lovely colours! I think Tobaco Burst works for my tastes in this bunch. I've kind of hope you guys have an answer to a "Taxes Tea" ... yes I misspelled it on purpose.
Hi, Aaron. Thank you for the video. I know this question is off-topic, but since I can't seem to find a legit answer, I guess my best bet is you. People on forums are either hot or cold about oiling fretboards for maintenance. oiling the wood darkens it for sure. However, while some say it's bad since it loosens the glue of frets, inlays, and even the glue between the fretboard and the neck if it penetrates deep enough, others say it conditions the wood, giving it the moisture it needs to stay intact. Can you make a video explaining why we should or should not oil them and give us some insight into the rationale behind this pratice? Thank you and thank you so much!
I've been missing your covid pod cast . Good to see you back.
Warmoth has NEVER done me wrong. Thanks guy for your hard work.
I REALLY like the ‘Tobacco Burst’, it’s just gorgeous!
That’s my favorite too, very classic looking 👍
I got a tobacco burst from you guys on my Telecaster and I love it.
That’s blue finish at the introduction is Killer!!!👍👍👍
Agreed!
Hey Aaron, rockin a vintage George Harrison look.
Very cool, and always interesting and informative.
Cheers cobber.
Timbo
I have a clear to black burst Jazzmaster body that I won from y'all last year in the Peel and Play. Love love love it.
Honey Burst all day long... absolute classic.

Tobacco Burst. What happens when your e-cig blows up.
Really enjoy your videos. They've been very helpful! Would love to see a video on transparent finishes like this burst one. Also one on pickguards, especially what might go with colors other than white, black or tortoise. Thanks.
Great to see you back again Aaron. Black, red, yellow burst for me. 👍
nice to get a new video.. been missing these. Hope to see more in the future.
That black-to-clear nails the early Fender 2-color burst. It's one of my favorites!
this channel is becoming a drug for me
You need an avocado burst.
Dark green, to avocado green, to yellow.
It would look terrible.
But hey, avocados are great.
Guacamole Burst!
I think it would actually be pretty good
I’d consider buying that
With a side of San Juan Salsa!
I was honestly always thinking that warmoth dragon burst looks like an avocado....
Tobacco Burst, Tequila Sunrise and Black to Clear. Just order a PJ in Tobacco Burst! 🎸
Glad to see ya back Aaron!
Team ‘bacco burst!
Nice!
Can't wait for my roasted flame neck to arrive at home!
Keep releasing videos Aaron, it's always a pleasure!
Great explanation of burst finish 👍
I am of the team tobacco sunburst. However I just finished my first Warmoth build which is a black korina jazz bass finished in black to clear burst. Love it!
As long as there’s no poop burst color, it’s all good,

Honeyburst - all day long! Just gorgeous!
Caribbean burst on a nice quilted maple!
Lookin' good, dude. Nice to see ya👍🏼
Great informational video. Thanks. Black, red, yellow for me.
The black on clear sure looks nice!
I like the Black to clear burst allot. I actually own a Purple to clear burst Strat style body I purchased from Warmoth. That finish looks so fantastic under natural lighting! I love it!

Black to trans brown on my Korina rear route strat. Still my favorite guitar.
I think the Silverburst there looks excellent.
Real nice guitar body.
I really love the purple to natural burst,
Team tobacco here, but Your honey burst looks awesome as well, like a fireball. Also I thought for the colour palette there are some at least unwritten standards, so thanks for learning something new again. You're the best Aaron!
Team Tobacco Burst for the mellower schtuff! Team Black-on-Black-on-Black for the heavy rock. Great video! Excellent graphic.
I love the Fender 3 color Black/Red/Yellow burst and Gibsons Cherry Sunburst after it darkens a bit. The Gibson color they offer now that I love is called Cherry Tea Burst/Royal Tea Burst.
Warmoth has great taste in bursts, I’d love to have any single one of those bodies.
Team Tobacco burst with Aaron! I love me a classy tobacco burst on a modern looking superstrat with decked-out specs.
These look so good, I'm not a big burst guy but I wouldn't be mad at all if warmoth mixed up my order and got me a burst body.
BlueBurst and Tobacco Burst are my favs.
I'm more into the eye-catching bursts, like Bengal burst, Black Cherry Burst, Caribbean Burst, Jungle burst, Fire burst. I also love the metal flake options like Goblin flake, Holo flake, and Inferno flake.
Great video as always. The black-yellow looks green unlike the rest of the examples, or my dad's 56 strat which was clearly yellow as is was when I had it refinished in 86, no green effect. And it too was ash. Black-yellow is really sweet with single ply white or gold anodized pickgaurds. I also like the black-red-yellow with mint green.
Nice video.
I have from warmoth a black-red-yellow burst, a black-yellow burst and a tobbaco burst back with copperhead dye top which is my favourite 🥰
I have a warmoth vip AAAA flame maple honey burst. It is absolutely beautiful.
I hate to go with the crowd here, but I LOVE the black, yellow burst. I think that with a very flamey/grainy top is epic.
Loving the new hair bro !

Just got my order in. It is a tobacco burst but it ended up a LOT more yellow than in your example. Still looks good, just very different.
Solid colors for traditional S, T or Offset models.
For F-style guitars, they nailed it straight out of the gate in 1954. Tobacco for sure.
Can you please do a video comparing the metallic silver and grays? Love your products!!!
This channel is the best guitar content creator. Thank you.
Edit: can you please make a video about different White, blue and red colors ?
I've already done those colors. Check our older videos.
Glad to see you back ! I am team tobacco burst !
Team Green Burst here! Black on the edges, dark green (like the actual NY Jets helmets) in the middle.
I love your tobacco burst. I have a honey burst Les Paul, which was a tough decision at the time vs their tobacco burst. I want something different this time but still want to see plenty of wood grain. Before I recently decided to do my own build, I was debating a Fender honey burst tele vs Sunburst. You tobacco burst kind of splits the difference perfectly.
Your hair!!!!! I like the 80s look.
It's coming back.... a little every day! ;)
Tobacco is my fav along with the black/trans.
It'd be great to see some of the dyes (which look like they might end up darker at the edges, at least in the custom body builder?) vs bursts, e.g. Tiger Eye dye vs Tobacco burst.
Cherry Burst is awesome.
Greetings! Of the bursts that you showed here, I'm torn between the tobacco and honey burst.
Thanks for your videos and stay safe!
That tobacco burst indeed looks real nice.
Tobacco burst over a roasted Swamp Ash Vintage Strat Body. This order will be hitting your home page soon. ✌️
I'm black-brown-yellow team although the honey with the binding is beautiful
Black brown yellow I really like even if it’s a plain old modern sunburst
black to clear satin...oh yeaaaa
1) Tobacco burst
2) Black brown yellow
3) Black red yellow... and many more!
Hey Aaron! I hope you and your colleagues are doing well, missed your videos!
Out of these, would be cherry, but the 3-tone on my 1967 Gretsch is my most favorite of all
Definitely a tobacco burst guy myself!!
Excelente
Me simple guitar player. Me see Aaron from Warmoth. Me click. Me upvote.
Team Tobacco, btw.
Me same. Aaron always cheer up, even if already cheerful
LOL. Me chuckled.

Yep. I've seen other builders do "Cognac Burst" as well....Godin, e.g. It's a great color.
Nice one Aaron, good stuff, thanks. How about comparing some of these bursts on roasted woods vs non-roasted woods? What does the yellow center on some of these bursts look like on roasted alder for example?

About to order my first Warmoth guitar and I find myself drawn to tequila sunrise or dragon burst. They have that sense of drama to me.
I am personally looking at a dragonburst soloist body warhead headstock build with roasted maple. Likely some DiMarzio Tone Zones, DiMarzio Fusion, or Bare Knuckle pickups.
I'd really like to see all your bursts and various transparent or translucent finishes on roasted woods. What will butterscotch blonde look like on a roasted swamp ash, for example?
I
I'm a Black to Yellow or Black to Clear burst fan, but they do something special
Always like tobacco burst and honey burst, but I would really like to a satin desert burst.
I can't decide if i like more the black yellow burst as indeed it looks vintage or the tobacco burst... Gotta get both so i'll find peace
I had a Gibson les paul in their bourbon barrel. That to me is an absolute stunning burst. Hey Aaron got another question for you to cover sometime.

In your website it would be very useful to have the feature to se the back of the instrument, I love the new design but missing that part.
Have a cherry burst 77 LP, but i play my 82 black american strat 99% more so im not a burst guy, but if i could make a burst, would be red dye tiger with holographic metalic burst, idk, l love all the dyes and masked are sharp especially soloists lines but that holo paint is cool.

Black Red Yellow ftw, always...
Tobacco Burst to the bone, baby.
Nice video! Could you do the same with Satin finishes?
Tobacco Burst 👍🔥🎸🦅
Any word on when the anniversary guitars are coming out or if the truly contour heels from the anniversary series are gonna be available to order in the near future? I'm holding off on buying my first warmoth in case these things are coming soon. Thanks :)
I'm team Aaron for the nicest guy on UA-cam
Lovely colours! I think Tobaco Burst works for my tastes in this bunch.
I've kind of hope you guys have an answer to a "Taxes Tea" ... yes I misspelled it on purpose.
Oh, I had an idea for a great alternate name : "Oil Slick"
Hi, Aaron. Thank you for the video. I know this question is off-topic, but since I can't seem to find a legit answer, I guess my best bet is you.
