15300st - black or blue?

If you had the option to go for any of the 2 colors, what would you choose?

A black 15300 seems really solid and more versatile while the blue 300 at times may look kinda dull or flat (compared to the 202 and 400 blue). Really hard to pass up on a blue though.

Those who are familair with both or had the chance to pick between the 2, your thoughts and inputs are greatly appreciated.

Have the blue, seen the black. Would not sell the blue for the black. There are also different shades of blue on the 15300 depending on the serial. I love mine but agree, the blue is certainly more dull compared to the 15400 or 202. But when it catches the light, it's awesome. I love mine.

You cannot go wrong with Blue. True on the dullness but as previously said, different shades of blue makes it a true and a unique beauty to squire. Blue all the way

Blue for sure, but definitely agree that the shade of blue on the 15300s are quite dark, and sometimes can even look black.

Thanks for the replies. Not surprising blue would be the popular pick and favorite. Wondering if there are others who had the choice for both and went with black.

Nice thanks for the 202 and blue 300 side by side. Really helps! It really can somewhat pass as black but you can tell it’s dark blue.


It’s actually the first 202-300 side by side I’ve seen where they ’kinda’ look the same in terms of color shade.

My 15300 white is one of my favorites.

I love the AP lettering at 12 o’clock on this model. I’ve been ordering getting one.
