Thanks!
They are all nice, but the metallic orange on black just REALLY jumps out at you. It literally took my breath away when I saw it... I saw Stu walking down from upstairs and he saw it in my hands and literally just started laughing, saying he though it looked kickass too...and I believe he ordered one for himself in the same color... The inca silver looks better in pictures than in person...IMHO...not that it looks bad...it just doenst grab me like the orange does Here is the actual orange guitar...

Thank you Jim! Continued success to you and your fine instruments!

Agreed- charcoal frost with a black or white pearloid guard would kick ass.

Here's a simple solution....order two or three. Seriously though, they all look great and I'm sure you'll be happy with any of the ones you listed.

I don't get it. Why is Copper matallic so popular. I could not find any example on the web that makes me go wow. Perhaps someone can post a link or photo better than one I posted.

To really mix you up...Get a vintage cherry burst. Don does awesome burst and other "natural" finishes like violin amber as well.

I see no one has voted for the Black/Gold at all in this poll...Which is GOOD. It means that I have one of only 3 that I know is in existence at this time...

Which is surprising because I think your finish is one of the beatiful ones out there. Then again it maybe your photo taking skills

Your "Orange Burst" is actually Sunburst Orange Pearl. Obviously not a burst. It is also not a stock color, but rather a Jeep Color. That guitar was built for one of my best friends. The color was matched from a Jeep Brochure. Don hand mixed that color for the build. I do not think it had a black base coat.

I dig the Black Cherry Metallic myself....

I have two of Don's Bursts and they are gorgeous.

They seem to have both a transparent and a "sparkle" purple!

That means the answer must involve purple!

I have narrowed down to;

Black Orange
Black Cherry
Black Copper
Frost Charcoal
Gun Grey Metal

"black" here is referring to the base coat.

...yes probably not much of narrowing but deciding on these five was tough in it self.

I would like to get black pickguard, black knbs, and zebra humbucker cover.

I think you also must take into account the pickguard and the pickup and covers they make up a lot of the colour scheme
