which one should i buy?

[Kivitel]

The natural is more metal if you ask me. No prissy wood finish, just clearcoat.

[daemon barbeque]

natural, looks more classic and I prefer the matching headstock tint

That's what i think.The Black one is a beautie too ,but the headstock just don't fit!

[JustWendell]

one more metalhead for natural

Exactly. For me, it was perfect up to the headstock. Not really the shape, but the color.

[KeeperOS]

It could be the (specific) tint but the headstock on the black one seems just plain off.
On the other hand the tint of the natural one's headstock matches the body perfectly.

Plus, a Metalhead wouldn't go for a Pacifica
(In fact I've been thinking about an RGX520DZ, maybe a 620 if I can afford it)

Natural. My motto's always been, "If you can't see the wood, it's not as good!" All my guitars are transparent. Brown stain, natural, trans black, bursts. I just always feel like painted guitars might be hiding something. Big knots, body filler, 5 peice bodies, etc... Plus when you can see the wood, you have a one of a kind guitar. No two grains patterns will ever be the same. Anyone can have a black, white, or blue guitar.

definitely the natural one. it looks a lot more exciting than the black one.

Wow, I never thought about that one before. Makes sense...
And I've been wondering why it was I more that often liked natural finished guitars... (seriously)

However here you can see the grains on the black too, plus that doesn't count much with topped guitars (in general)...

I'm a sucker for black-dyed tops.

[Kiobe]

i'm going to buy one of these. i like them both so much that i can't decide which one, so i leave it to you if you'll help me decide. two criteria that i will use is which color your like and which color will help the resale value (in case i don't like it). thanks in advance.

Mr. Natural.

Oh, I didn't realize the black one was transparent. In that case, either.

Me neither... Therefore I vote NATURAL!!! )

[Pink Unicorn Horsey]

natural

[Robert Delahunt]

I prefer al natural.

I think yamaha is great with aesthetics.. they must be as prissy as me when it comes to guitars

go with the BLACK one.. those white pickups CLASH on the natural.. it's good that the headstock tint on the natural is a bit darker though... but also notice how the black guitar's headstock isn't tinted.. so the maple looks almost white (which matches the pups.. and black and white is a great combo).. why do I keep talking.. I know I'm right

and in the words of my singer "natural guitars are so 70's".. eh.. then again he still calls humbuckers "double pickups"
