I think the guitar looks nicer with the cream knobs for sure... Your baby's perfect as is, of course I remember when mine were that age - they didn't talk back 'cause they couldn't talk, they were highly portable but I didn't have to taxi them anywhere, and they even slept (and thus were quiet) during the daytime on occasion... Ah, those were the days
I agree the knobs look a lot better too. I actually asked if they had any cream knobs before I left with the guitar but they were out. My daughter likes the Axis better than either AL for some reason. Maybe its the fancy top...you know how women are...
