Pedal steel builders who do a sunburst or similar finish?

I see lots of solid colored guitars. Iâ€™d like some recommendations for PSG builders who will make a sunburst - like the old fender 400 look or maybe something like this?

I have a beautiful Carter sunburst. The cabinet was finished by Mark Giles.

Williams does a really nice burst... check their site for pics

Thatâ€™s gorgeous b0b! Just what Iâ€™m talking about.

Iâ€™ll check out Williams too.

Jeff Surratt at Show Pro (and his guys at Southbound Custom Guitar) do beautiful work. Here's a page of Show Pro photos:

Williams, Show Pro, Jackson. Just about everyone except for Fred Justice (I think he's pretty much just mica and drum wrap). I think Jerry Fessenden does, and I think I've seen it on a Mullen.
Choose a guitar based on the other features, then ask about the finish.

Hi Greg.
We can do a sunburst guitar for you. Here is a pic showing a few bursts and fades in various colors we've done, but we can shade it to your preference. We've also got an ultra smooth, all-bearing pulling system now on our Pro V model. And we still use our classic single pole Shot Jackson design pickup. These guitars have a rich tone and great sustain. We're updating the website and I'll be posting more about them soon. So you can get it all...beautiful color, feel and sound!

Greg , Youâ€™ve already have been presented with a couple of very nice options from a couple of great builders with excellent reputations. One more is Show Pro. Hereâ€™s pic of my SD10. Another one to consider.

I think just about any company making lacquers can do one for you. Options are almost limitless.
