¿Cómo se dice sunburst en español?

It's a type of wood finish commonly found on guitars. I can't find a translation for it into Spanish. The French Wikipedia just uses the English 'sunburst'. Is it the same in Spanish?

Well, a Yahoo Answers forum has the following responses.
Explosión Solar
Estallido Solar
One even says this...

That's what I thought. If the French say 'sunburst' there probably isn't a Romance language term for it. :-) - KevinB, Oct 3, 2011

I'm not sure I wholly agree with Sonrisa's contribution, although I suppose it's not wrong. It just sounds awfully unnatural, specially if you're referring to a guitar.
Something like destello or llamarada (solar if you wish), might be more effective, methinks.
