Never heard of this before. Is it true?

Read the description. Never heard of this before. Is it true? Doesn't ring true to me, but always open to learning something new.

I hadn't heard of this either. My first thought was this refers to what is sometimes called a "target burst", where the yellow center is almost opaque. While googling for this, I stumbled upon a thread on Strat Talk which actually describes the "faux burst" from your post! Post number 8 by user Guy Named Sue refers to them here:

It was apparently used sometimes to cover up a body made of more pieces than usual, or inferior wood grain.

Well as the old saying goes - Learn something new everyday. - Thanks!
