White. It doesn't look quite as good as the black one, but on a dark bandstand, white is way better in my opinion.

Obviously, I'm pretty partial to white. The Professional in the last pick now belongs to Rick. *sigh*: the one that got away.....

I like the black on black, don’t particularly like the dust catcher style though…

White all day long. Johnnie, just a tip when you put a replacement pad on a guitar from a case maker. Leave a 3/4" border so that there is something to hang a guitar by on the back neck. If you don't leave a border there's no room for a case brace to catch the steel on the back neck.Thanks.

Dan, You have two beautiful Buds! I am still very deeply in love with that 1970 Professional, "The Red One," you mentioned. I may need a roadie soon...it's heavy! But that's the biggest reason I have it, if I remember right. Haha.

White is cool, but...the one time I played a steel with white boards on stage, the stage lights made the strings cast shadows...lots of them.
It was really disorienting...
