eXploder, я правильно понимаю, тебе пришло в голову, что изначально цвет был один - striking sunburst, а выцветал он по-разному и через 40 лет этим оттенкам названия придумали?.. ну так сам докажи это, почему я должен доказывать обратное?..
И тем не менее, в какой то степени ты прав, поскольку, коротко, не очень подробно и не в полном объеме, это подтверждает твои слова –
«..Now that we have considered the color variation, we will move on to the actual structure of the finish. First we must consider the color and texture of the wood - the maple. This will influence the color of the finished top. The base coat, which is a very thin coat of clear lacquer mixed with yellow pigment, also has an impact on the finished product. So only after you understand these factors are you able to consider the other elements such as layers of colors and the clear coat. We are using a scientific approach to understand the guitar - the Science of the Burst..
It is commonly known that the dye colorant red is most prone to fading. Undoubtedly that is the primary reason that the Sunburst LP finish fade. However, that does not explain everything about that subtle hue of the finish. The mixture of colors goes a long way toward understanding the aging and fading processes. A 1959 cherry-red color was comprised primarily of dye colorand red. To add depth to the color, a small amount of
blue was added. Since 1959 cherry red is in actuality a slighly blueish deep red, sunburst is created as the light bounces back from the yellow base coat through the cherry-red layer. So what happens then when this mixture of colors fade? As already mentioned, red fades fastest. The real issue in the ratio that each of the two colors that comprise the sunburst fade at.
When the finish is new, the glowing yellow light from the base coat comes up through sunburst shading. The small amount of blue in cherry red, together with this yellow creates green, which is a complementary color to red. In the beginning stage of fading, this green is such a low ratio that it is suppressed by red. Howerer, as time goes by, red begins to fade more. Yellow stays unchanged. Blue faded but far slower than red. So the ratio of green against red becomes higher. At a certain point of this red versus green sequence, the top starts to take a hue of brown. And this reddish-brown color is the most often seen teaburst. From there it could become greenburst but usually by this time blue also starts to fade, so ususlly it turns into honeyburst. When all red and blue are gone from cherry-red shading, then thereis no shading. It becomes a "Lemon drop."…»
Но!..
