Epiphone Casino - What colour would you go for?

Seriously thinking about getting one of these & am undecided on the colour.  What colour would you lot go for out of interest?

Got to be cherry red really.....hasn't it?

Epiphone link isn't showing (page not found).  That red one looks fantastic, though I'd be inclined to buy the one that sounds best!

Moss

Vintage sunburst with pickguard or natural without - anything else looks wrong

That black and blu one looks cheap and tacky to me.  Epiphone by way of Shine guitars.

Natural. 

Then an again I bought an Elitist for my Pa's birthday, and it was just stunning in natural.

Natural or cherry, pickguard on both.

Sunburst

Gold all the way, but lose the 'plate

I'm depressingly traditional when it comes to Casinos... cherry, sunburst or natural are the only colours there are. Not even black!

And any of those colours is better than Gary Clark's blue burst.

That gold could be good, though might look a bit naff in real life. 

If I was buying another Casino I'd look for a used one in Black.

Royal Tan! Although not currently available...

The 61 reissue of a couple of years ago is nice if you can find one used.

Love the natural one.

I like Gary Clarkes signature blue and black one. Looks better int he flesh than on a computer screen, and has better pickups. Failing that, then red.

There's a black with bigsby and black pickup covers for sale locally which looks rather smart, though not that immediately casino-like.

Cherry on a 335 but on the Casino definitely natural.

The Gary Clark Jnr one was head and shoulders better than any of the standard models I played. Plus it had US Gibson pickups - on mine they were too far from the strings and lacked top end clarity as a result but were way better than the mushy, overwound cack on the standard models.

Natural all the way

Cheers chaps! I think that John Lennon picture may have swayed me!

Will keep you posted when I manage to get my hands on one.
