EBMM StingRay Special Club

Hey everyone. I'm about to pull a trigger on another Special 4H but can't decide between these two colors. Given the choice, which would be your pick and why?

I'd go for the Snowy White. I've always liked the look of it (in photos, at least -- I've never seen one in person). That said, the purple certainly is eye-catching. The Snowy White might be a better aesthetic fit in a variety of band situations, if that matters to you.
 
Thanks for your reply everyone.

I’ve just pulled the trigger on the Grape Burst (purple). What made this so difficult is the fact that Snowy Night has a matching headstock. @cholyoke got it absolutely spot on; if the Grape Crush had a matching headstock it would be a no contest (at least in our opinion!)

It was a coin toss really! The photo below swayed my decision towards the Grape Crush.

I like this color enjoy although I'd love this with an ebony board but that's strictly subjective. Congratulations enjoy

My favorite out of this year's colors. This and the bright green. Congrats!
 
I love snowy night with a roasted maple board and matching headstock, but that purple with a dark rosewood board is fantastic. If that purple had a matching headstock, there would be no questions. Either would be great!

(PS - kids, the color is snowy night, not snowy white)
Thanks for pointing out our error in Snowy Night. I knew better, but said it anyway. Doh!
