I am close to working out another Amp from Gomez. I have his Sonido which is killer, in ROugh Blonde with Wheat grill. I alos bought his matching tank and again. ... AWESOME.
So, I am ready to take a big plunge into Surfer land, and can't decide between colors. If I go with Oxblood grill then I can "trick" my wife into thinking I'll need another matching tank by comparing it to shoes and belts. (I really want a second one as backup.)
So, just wondering what you guys like.... feel free to give up some delish porn pix of your "dirty Blondes" as well. I am close my friends...... very close.

I think aged wheat grille looks awesome, but newer it just isn't dirty enough. So I might got for the oxblood. However, you should do black and silver if that is an option. It will be a very rare color and will have potential value in the future.

Another strategy is to get them all the same color. As long as your wife doesn't see them at the same time she doesn't have to know you got a "new" one.
ps. This technique also works well for guitars and surfboards....good luck.

I'd go oxblood. Then get some oxblood shoes to really complete the picture for your wife.

Both look insanely sexy:

I personally love the contrast oxblood adds to blonde tolex. Oh, and I'm finally doing an El Sonido and reverb tank order with Dario in 2010 (blonde/oxblood), so I'm already preparing the wife for it now... you'll have to do a comparison of both when your Surfer arrives!

I retract my earlier comment. I say go with the wheat grille cloth.

I agree now that I think about it, only because you already have wheat and you may want to play em both together. (Like Scot does with his Showman & Bandy.)

Yeah, that's what I do best. I'm probably pulling the trigger on a Hallmark 60 next Fall, and I'm going bonkers over sunburst or white... wheat vs. oxblood is so far off I don't want to even think about it.

I can't argue with this, I need one in white asap. Does white come with a matching headstock now or that black one as seen on the earlier models?

Matching headstock now. The black headstock was only on the first run.
I'm waitin' on the '59 sidejack with aluminum vibrato.
