I was ready to pull the trigger on the blue from the photos, but my local store got the tobacco, and I really dug the color on the back and neck. I like to see grain on the back and the neck - even if it's dark. Dug it in person, but was able to save $150 buy getting it online. I was a little nervous about getting it sight-unseen, because the SE tops do vary a bit, but when I opened her up I could not have been more pleased.
Can't wait to see what colors they have for 2013...I really would like to see a vintage or cherry burst, maybe another run of quilts. The UK got some amazing looking limited run SEs for the 245s and Santanas, hope they do some more "adventurous" colors!
