Re: Best looking strat?

i am split between sunburst with either maple or rosewood board.
 
Re: Best looking strat?

surf green, rosewood fretboard, turtoise pickguard (i def feel pickguards make a huge difference in appearance on strats)
 
Re: Best looking strat?

I like both option 1 & 2, but I also am very fond to a deep cherry finish with a red pearloid pickguard and a rosewood fretboard.
 
Re: Best looking strat?

hmmm of the above i guess white or black with maple but for me best is pewter with maple and a matte black pickguard...but i'm bias lol..either that or graphitti yellow with maple. whatever it is it's gotta be a maple neck for me!

Re: Best looking strat?

I like the Midnight Wine satin finish with a white pickguard and a maple neck. Thats a nice lookin axe! Although all of the strats listed I like as long as they have a maple neck.(I still like rosewood, just not as much as maple lol)
 
Re: Best looking strat?

Of the above choices I'll say sunburst/maple, but my personal preference is a blue or green color w/ a maple neck and pearloid guard.
 
Re: Best looking strat?

Either Sonic or Daphne blue with a dark fretboard and mintgreen pickguard will get my party started most of the times ;) .
 
Re: Best looking strat?

i like all strats but White strats with an all maple neck i love! I also love Surf Green with Rosewood boards...... I'm loving my 17 year old American Standard strat.... It started out as a inca silver finnish i think, (with a Maple neck) and the body has turned greenish over the years..... The older it gets the cooler the finnish looks....

Plus i really like the yellow strats with Rosewood boards of the early 60's

Re: Best looking strat?

I like the Sunburst with maple....as long as it's the 2 tone burst and not the 3 tone. I hate the red highlights in the 3 tone. IMO, this is the quintessential strat look. Artic white with rosewood board takes 2nd on your list, but my personal 2nd is a transparent blond with a maple board...like the Tele we did for Seymour. Class, class, class....

Oh, and the finish HAS to be nitro.
 
Re: Best looking strat?

i was thinking about this again and of your choices and not ones of my own i like a white strat white guard and maple neck but it has to be a 70's style big headstock or it loses all it's charm to me...
