While waiting for Martin's reply, I'm going to guess... I think that it was because white was cheap and easy to get. Also, white was easy to match.

A very good point, Frank.
This discussion thread gets me to wondering: Why did Streetly finish the original 400s in white in the first place? Was it simply to make them stand out from the other instruments on a stage? Any thoughts, Martin?
