I just recently visited the Gibson Custom Shop and had the opportunity to talk to Yasuhiko Iwande about bursts. First let me start of by saying thank you Yasuhiko for taking the time out of your day and talking bursts with me. He is a very friendly person and very easy to talk to. My one and only question in the short 10 minutes I was able to chat with him was:
What is your personal favorite burst in your book and why?
He replied that while all the bursts in the book are special and he loves them all the Stanley Burst on page 92 is his all time personal favorite and hence that is why it made it on the front cover of his book. Yasuhiko told me that out of all the bursts he has handled it was the Stanley Burst in his opinion the has the "perfect" balance of figure, weight, tone, and just the most overall most character. I thought this was interesting and just wanted to share.
