Williams I used to own. This one was called Ebony something or other. I think black lacquered finish with MOP inlay is hard to beat. Clean and stylish without being garish like so many other finishes.

See the Mullen in my avatar. It was called Blackberry Burst. I didn't order it.....it is pretty, but I like my guitars to look understated and like tools of music not like furniture or things one is afraid to touch for fear of damage.

I don't like red. Black is ok. But I like traditional - here is my Williams - don't know if MSA do anything like it

Nice, Larry.

John, that's a nice trad MSA - I'd take it.

I decided I quite like red after all, now I've seen James's pink! :)
