I like the original gold and sunburst.
White: Too white and yes, leave that to Gretsch. OR Hagstrom.
Black: I dislike black basses in general (*) cos they look too metal and with the JCS it just doesn't work. You don't see the curves. It looks cheap.
Royal Blue: All blue, back and sides too, and mother of toilet seat bindings. Not very pretty. And the black pickup looks cheap.
Red: I love red ES335's, I love the Guild Starfire in red, but I saw this one and I just didn't like it.
Faded Pelham Blue and the new red, both with dark wooden sides: perfect!
(*) I do like some black basses like a bound Rickenbacker. And in case of a Fender, maybe with tort plate and maple board.
