Majesty smoked pearl or Enchanted forest?

[Rutles]

So I am going to buy Majesty guitar, but I am having serious problem: can't decide between two color choices. I like enchanted forest, because it actually has some color, but when I saw it in person, it was bit of a let down. I mean the color was just so dark. Smoked pearl is cool too, but I haven't actually seen one. If it's brighter than enchanted forest, then maybe I'll prefer that.

I know, this is some serious business.

My wife wants me to get an Enchanted forest, but like you its a bit dark unless in full sun or actual stage lights (leds everyone uses now a days typically dont cut it) like my purple Monarchy is. So I'm voting smoked pearl.

Definitely the greenish one. IMHO.

Exactly. It looks nice, but I would prefer it in brighter color. It's almost black.

Personally I don't like the shield inlay; so would vote for the green as it is more subtle.
But the smoked pearl colour on it's own is really nice.

Not a fan of the pearl at all, get something in blue but voted EF

I got the enchanted forest one right now, but I am considering to switching it to smoked pearl. There are some very small things with this, and I know I am being nitpicky here, but this guitar is very expensive and brand new.
What worries me the most is fret sprout. Frets don't feel pointy yet, except just a bit around most highest frets, but you can see small crack(?) around 12 and 13th frets. I am just worried that it's gonna get worse. Also there's small ding under tremolo cover, but that's just... well nitpicking.
What do you fellas think?

I might be the odd guy out, but the Smoked Pearl is the way to go. We got both colors at the same time and the Smoked Pearl was the winner for me. Color choice is very personal and you should go with your gut instinct. Regardless of which one you choose, you will love it.

Unfortunately I'm gonna switch to smoked pearl. I can't stop worrying about those finish cracks near frets. I wouldn't mind if this was used guitar, but it's brand new.

I prefer the looks of the Smoked Pearl, but the Enchanted Forest has been an easier sale for us.

Huh. Green guitars do sell after all.
