Roger,nocaster,sir! ;) Thanks.
And edders got it.

Do you think there really is a difference in the LPB?
I think it is just the photos that are darker, but I may be wrong.
Anyway it is a hard time for you to decide which one of the blues to choose.....
But based on that link I personally would go with the LPB.
It suits the axe better.
(surely without the CO/ strip - I do not like that)
Cheers
