Without a doubt, my favorite of the bunch is the Alpine White. I'm actually in the same mode as you looking at kits. I've just seen kits on stage with the white or pearl white and when lights hit it, it just looks awesome. Seriously, that's my only push towards that finish.

My old guitarist has something similar to the Desert Burst, and I was very impressed how it looked.

I'm a weekend warrior of woodworking and love an amazing grain showing.

Let us know with what you get.
