Just Opinions Please

OK,
I am hoping I can get some opinions on colour as I am having a hard time deciding.
The make/model is NOT in question (  :)  ) as this is what I'm getting, but am torn between these colours.

Thanks for any opinons,

Nick

I am really most into the Carbon Blue,White and Buttercream (BAD name IMO, Vintage White would be better). Buttercream is hard to find and slight upcharge as limited 2005 colour (go figure) but comes with MUCH nicer case than normal SKB. Anyway, looks like the aged binding on my Les Paul.

White, for me.  I don't mind the gold, although I normally dislike gold guitars.  And I usually like red, but this one doesn't do it for me all that much.  It's not bad though.

The blue and the buttercream I'm not fussed on.

I'd go for the red or metalic blue.     ...If they did it in purple with  JP's talent built in, I'd get a morgage for it!

cool
thanks guys
White winning thus far then :)

Should post I poll I guess LOL

I like the "vintage" look of the "buttercream", hate the name though and it is MORE costly for being a limited colour (with NOTHING but a 2005 limited painted on back????, not much more $$$$ but still!).

I figure the blue will show EVERY fingerprint like my Ebony les Paul.

Keep em coming please :)

lol
this is actually helping, honest :)

I am dealing with two dealers here.
Both have all colours mentioned except only one has Buttercream.

To put it in context.

Fully loaded at first place is $75 less than Buttercream at other place. Also, first place is doing free shipping (bout $40 saving). So, buttercream will cost $115 more than other colours). Dunno if thats worth it. Also, Buttercream is a 2005 colour so the guitar may have been sitting for awhile (not that that should matter).
