hello, I'm closer to getting a bongo and was just wandering, what color/ finish takes little to no cleaning and fingerprints aren't that noticable?
I really want a black bongo, so how does apphire compare to regular black and stealth on matenance?

thank you for reading.

well, you sound like you know what color you want. I have a white on white Sting Ray 5. Not everybody's cup of tea colorwise, but it does not show any smudges whatsoever.

I think the stealth will be low maintenance 'cos it has a satin finish (I believe) i've got a black satin guitar, and you can never see any fingerprints on it.

Don't get a shiny black finish, that's for sure. You'll see a smudge for every atom of your skin that came in contact with the instrument! :eek:

I have a stealth Bongo and the satin finish does not show fingerprints. It's as low maintenance as you can get.
