hmm, if you gave me the choice in color, I'd take the red. the black just doesn't look as good with the black pickguard IMO. now, if you took the pickguard off and painted that like blue or green... then the black would look pretty sick... hey, you could do that with the extra $100 you'd be saving for getting the black color.
