My first real post here. I'm fairly new to EBMM, only having bought a Bongo6 about a year ago after I tried my first set of slinkys. They are immaculate! Time for another MM.
I'm about to order the Stingray 5 HH for the next production. (Starting next week.) I've got all the important stuff picked out, so now I'm just worried about aesthetics. :D I'm not sure if what I'm looking for is white or white pearl. I plan on getting the black pick guard, so I want the body to be the closest to a natural white as possible and I'm just worried about it looking off-white in comparison.

I've googled around a little and I find it's hard to tell really which colour is the pure white and which is more of the yellowish off-white colour.

Anyone in the white-guitar club want to chime in here on what might be the closest to what I'm looking for?

This is the preferred colour: http://www.rainbowguitars.com/imagesproduct/eb/eb150472105-xl.jpg
While this is the off-white I'm not looking for: http://www.mveducation.com/assets/products/72938_l.jpg


And just for the input of others: White body, black pick guard, rosewood fretboard.
Do I colour the headstock? I think probably.

You're going to want to go with White Pearl. EBMM White is a bit off of that white-white that you're looking for.

Also, welcome!:cool:

Both are a little off-white, with the white-pearl a little brighter. The flat white will become yellow in time, and so will the white pearl.

From what I know, the plain white tends to yellow more with age. But the white pearl also has a metallic look to it, whereas the white is straight up plain white. I'd also say white pearl is a bit brighter.
