Yeah agreed, that's what the black one is missing.

They have different vibes, IMO. Both look great, though! I voted black ;)

I don’t normally like black guitars, but black on the Revstar looks great.

Stripes on the blue one aren’t wide enough, IMO. The balance is not quite right.

I'd go black but if you removed the blue's pickguard, the double stripe could be quite tasty.
