While I'm also not generally a fan of 'bursts' either.... and definitely dislike the "teardrop" shape....
On the other hand, I'm a big burst fan, with the teardrop preferred. After reviewing my own, the shape of Richard's is about right, although I like to see the "drip" of the drop finish higher toward the top of the face. Gibson is usually the king of the teardrop busts, but I think my Corona burst bests the Gibby in this instance....

It's pretty close! Maybe I just prefer the Corona because it's a jumbo vs. a dread....
