SA2200 VB - inconsistense in colours?

I´m realy gasing for a SA2200 VB, but I´m a little uncertain because when going by pics the finish seem to be realy inconsistent between guitars.

In some pictures the VB has realy deep, rich, dark colours. It fades from a orange-yellow to deep red. On others it looks realy bland. Unsaturated, pale yellow fades to a unsaturated, bland orange colour.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I've heard the quality is remarkably consistent so I figure the finnish should be to.

It's absolutely the pics. Lighting, flash, and camera settings can make a guitars color vary dramatically in any given photo. I own two high end Japanese 335 style guitars this one and an Ibanez. The quality of both is probably the best I've seen on any production guitar bar none. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this one or any of the Ibanez Japanese made models site unseen. Just to illustrate, here are a couple photos of mine taken in different lighting.

The sheer depth of colour, and the high gloss finish means the guitar can look very different under certain lighting conditions. Here are some shots of mine that my wife took in the garden under natural light...





Still looks very different to when I see it in person indoors.

Whichever way...still a very beautiful guitar...
