Which color to order non-U.S. JTV-69 in?

Hi,

 

I decided to purchase the non-U.S. made Line 6 JTV-69 from Guitar Center and the GC near me only has the candy red model to show.  The candy red actually looks better than I thought it would as it has a nice sublte glitter sheen to it but I wish I had the placid blue, black and 3-tone sunburst to compare with.  I'm leaning towards the 3-tone though I did like the red and if the blue had the same sheen that could be really nice as well.  I know this is the least important aspect of buying a JTV-69 but if I'm going to live with this guitar, I might as well pick a good color.  I know this is a question of opinion but I'd like to hear what others who've see the different colors think.

    i've been impressed by the blue myself... although the koreans are limited in colors, they do all look good though

    I ordered the Lake Placid Blue. It was a toss up between that and the black. I also tried the red in person and it was very nice, but I am just not a sunburst or red kind of person. I should be getting the guitar on Monday! I'm so excited.

      Having seen them all in person, I would say they are all beautiful, but all very different.  I think the sunburst and the Lake Placid Blue are the most striking, but neither are my taste so I bought a red one.  I quite like it.  The red, of all the models looks best under stage lighting--or at least that's my opinion.  Also, I also have the JTV-59 in the cherry burst so I wanted something painted to contrast with my 59's "woody" look.

       

      The black, is, well, black.  I love black guitars, but I have a black gretsch and no strat style guitar in black is ever going to look as cool as a black gretsch.

       

      My $0.02, I don't think you'll be unhappy about any of them.
