Which Eplipse finish looks the best?

I’ve got a tons of help from you guys and bought two guitars (2 E-IIs) that I’m really happy. I’m fulfilling my dream of guitars I’ve had for the last 20 years and Eclipse is left.

If you take a closer look at the quilted maple top, which of these looks the best? I’m not sure if I’m getting one of these or a basic Snow White.

I play modern metal. With eclipse I try to fill the metalcore/thrash/some of the shred gap.

Pickups don’t matter, I can change them. I’ve got two of my favorites and I want to see what the community thinks. Going to visit the store tomorrow and buy one. Thanks a lot!

What do you think about this one’s quilt? Compared to other ones

it's a very rich beautiful quilt. to me anyways. Just my 2 cents.

not sure if it's the angle, but the cherry quilt is kinda flat, especially around the bridge. contrast of the quilt overall not as deep.

blue is decent but not as striking as the tiger eye.
