I've decided against the blue and white, because my wife's favourite football team wears those exact colours, and I really can't stand that team (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs).

The Red looks nice, but comes with a white pick guard standard, and my other most disliked football team wears Red and White (St George Illawarra Dragons), so I guess it's the midnight wine! I'll probably change my mind a few more times though.

Although that turtle sheel pick guard looks neat!

Thanks for the input!

Further down the track, if I was wanting to repaint it, how would I go about stripping it and repainting?
