I'm planning on getting one of the new Yamaha Revstar Standard guitars but need some help deciding what colour to get. Since it will be a left-handed model, there are only two colours to choose from thankfully;
Black or
Swift Blue .
I'm naturally drawn to, and currently leaning towards the
Black version. But the
Swift Blue just looks so darn cool!

Thanks in advance for the input/opinions.

Yeah definitely blue. Don't listen to Beeg: he still likes tweed.

I like tweed. Therefore black.

Only thing I find off-putting about the blue is that the pickguard doesn't quite match the racing stripes - seems more parchment/yellow. Hard to tell what it would look like in person or how it would age.

I'd go the black, but I reckon it depends a lot on your personal style.

Loving it so far

Dunno. My ears can’t tell which colour sounds better.

The black is looking pretty slick.

Tough decision, as both look cool. The blue looks a bit more subtle, whereas the black looks tougher.
