Red or Black?

stickyfiddle · February 18

Both similar age and condition. Both play nicely. What do?

guitars4you · February 18

maybe the pics don't help but based on what I can see it is red

I have a similar dilemma with wine gums.

Red is the nicer colour, but can’t you find one without a Bigsby?

Well, as as fan of Bernard Butler and Noel G - I'd buy the red - if I had a spare whatever hideous amount of money they must be selling for...

Reading your post in ML section as well, I gather the red one is a VOS and looks like that on the above pics - IMO it looks a nice 'tone' of colour

Both would look nice side-by-side on your wall at home.

I think red, but it’s a difficult choice. I’d take the pickguard off the black one or maybe replace it with a black guard though.

Red

Fingers657 · February 18

Both are nice but I prefer the black but not with that pick guard..
I would remove it..

Love red, my E-345 is red.

Red...even though it's been done to death.

Black, because everyone has a red one.

335 and 345 should be red, 355s should be black. So black it is but with a pickguard swap

Both are VOS. The black is actually a slightly nicer instrument and costs a little less, but the red is vibey despite needing more setup work.

Both have custombuckers afaik. Doesn’t help that they’re a 30 minute subway ride apart and the shops have different demo amps.

I guess maybe the real question is “Keef or Noel/Marr/Butler?”

Red all day long

stonevibe · February 18

I prefer the red one, but YMMV, etc

drofluf · February 18

The last time I was asked that question I had to explain to the young lady in question it depended on exactly what she was buying.

But in your case, and actually hers, red is the correct answer.

Tone decides

roberty · February 18

I prefer red too, from those photos. I would normally default to black and the photo of the black one is unflattering, but even accounting for this this there's something extra about the red one

Howdy, Stranger!
