    I like the wood finish in your first photo, Marvin. To me, teal looks weird on a speaker.

    Walnut would be easier for resale... turquoise is REALLY COOL LOOKING..... but like your Ferrari Red Ushers.... a PITA to resell

    And let’s be honest......

    Your likely to resell lol....

    i'm leaning towards the walnut, but the thing about the new volterras is that they have interchangeable panels. that's going to be fun. :D

    I was set on Brown Tejus, if you like leather material in finish.

    Dang, someone stole my idea. I was looking at a Fender Strat Sunburst finish and thinking if I'd like to build speaker cabinets and do the sunburst on the sides and top.

    I really like that Walnut, but I always love the classic black as well. The interchangeable panels means you'll probably end up with both though!
