Sunburst is a type of finish for musical instruments such as electric and acoustic guitars and electric basses. At the center of a sunburst-finished surface is an area of transparent gloss (showing the wood grain underneath) that darkens gradually towards the edges before hitting a dark rim. Among the best examples of a sunburst finish are some Gibson Les Paul guitars.

There are various types of sunburst finishes. The two of most common being "tobacco sunburst," which is golden yellow in the very center and black around the edges and "cherry sunburst", which is a golden yellow at the very centre and cherry red towards around the edges.
