SE blue matteo - can't decide which top to get

[goodbyeboy]

I have decided to get a new guitar from Japan - apparently they have this beautiful Blue Matteo finish for SE models for a limited time.

I have narrowed down to four guitars but I honestly cannot decide on which to buy. Obviously I can't fly to Japan so I asked for additional photos and have looked but still can't decide.

Which one would you guys get? They all look great and have their own thing going on, but I guess it's either tiger-ish stripes or straight stripes.

they are all 4 different guitars.

1.

2.

3.

4.

Some look turquoise and some look blue, but upon getting additional photos I realized that it's mostly because of lighting and they would mostly look similar in color.

I’d take the first one.

Ditto what @bodia said.

I like the lighter color #3 first then #1 but those are so close it wouldn't really matter to me

The darkest one? Because blue? J/K...sorta.

Seems like you're more hung up on figure...
If possible, get some quartering away photos from both sides of each guitar. Figure does beautiful wonky things depending how the light hits it.

1 or 3... I like the stripe thickness changes on both.

Agree with the majority somewhat bias as not a fan of the stock blue/purple (primary blue colour) personally

I’d go 3, but all are good

#1. Though #3 is close and the difference could be due to the lighting and angle of the shot.

I love cyan.

 

[rcsrich]

#3

I think the lighting is the most even in this pic too, so probably closer to the truth.

 

[Assumer]

#3

 

[Black Dog]

#1.

But the green one!

Or, the first if it must be blue.
