Kurt, its like you said a transparant picture (thin film) of a piece flamed wood. It it applied (vacuum) over the original wood on the guitar, so it looks like it's flamed. From a distance it's cool, but upclose you can see it's faux.

Yeah, man. This thing sucks big time. It's a piece of paper (or something) with a graphic of a nice wood applied with a vacuum press as AlexVDL said. My Jackson AT-X had this kind of finish, purple-ish one. Fernandes used to make this "photorealistic" finishes on their guitars, I don't know if the do now. I think they still do :D . the bottom one.
