Hal LeonardThe Beauty of the 'Burst Book
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A $39 hardcopy book from music publisher Hal Leonard, themed on Burst finishes. For readers and collectors, not for players seeking music to learn.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitar enthusiasts who read about instruments as much as play them
- Coffee-table reading in a shop, studio, or living room
- A gift for a player who already owns plenty of gear
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting songs, tab, or exercises to play
- Players after a method or instructional course
- Shoppers expecting anything that attaches to an instrument
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Hal Leonard
A long-running music print publisher, so expect proper bookstore-grade printing and binding rather than a self-published run.
Detail 03
$39
Priced like a photo-and-text title, well above a songbook and below a limited-edition art volume.
Detail 04
Burst subject matter
The focus is on sunburst-finished instruments, so the appeal is visual and historical rather than technical.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with tab or sheet music?
No. It's a book about instruments, not a songbook. If you want something to play, look at a tab songbook instead.
02Who publishes it?
Hal Leonard, one of the largest music print publishers.
03Is it a hardcover?
It's sold as a book at $39; confirm binding with us before ordering if that matters for a gift.
04Is this good for a beginner guitarist?
There's no lesson content, so it won't help you learn. It's for someone interested in the instruments themselves.
