I can't really pick a single color...but any translucent color is the best. I believe EBMM has some of the best finishes in the business, both solid and translucent. But in my opinion, the axis looks best when showing off the amazing figured maple tops. Translucent just suits it better.
Tough choice, I love the Emerald Green but isn't offered anymore and I also really like the Pacific Blue Burst which would be my choice if I bought another one but I voted for Honey Burst
