Compounding is something you can pursue to very small diminishing returns.
I'm thinking the next time I'm in Nazareth I'll check the black Martins in their museum to see how good they look.

Can’t argue with the idea that black is a bad color relative to others... But as good as it gets in terms of a new guitar? Not so sure...Like you suggested, I’ll have to try and more consciously observe some new black gloss guitars...
In 2 cases it was all sides including the top for me...neck and headstock are perfect...
Appreciate your thoughts and insight.
There’s worse things.
