Well, if you're unhappy with the look of your Gabb, you can always alter it like Leroy has done .

My Gabb is light walnut with a red bellows (black, gold, white, red diamond on the front) orange papers. Thumb strap and bass strap are heavy red leather, keys are pearlized as are the covers on the top and bottom ends of the keyboard. Keys are black with red trim, stainless corners all around. The box did not come with a strap, but Mike Gabbanelli put some nice strap mounts on for only $10. I'll post a picture Monday. The only thing I have had to do is move the thumb strap (not hard to do.) I hated drilling a new pilot hole for the screw, but it was necessary. I will fill the old hold neatly so you won't even see it. The strap was positioned so that my thumb was against the back of the keyboard instead of on the front edge.
