Well everyone, there they are. something for everyone from Dick Dale fans to those who dig Big HAsir rock. And everything in between. Again - there were a couple more I'd really have liked to included (PArticulalr liked that JeffD's Black w/ Silver Stripes!...) But I gotta pick the ten.

If you didn't make it in there will be a refin category, an "Older" axes and a couple of others where you might get in. Have at it - Who do you love?

Closing Wednesday at ~2p Eastern.

Good luck!!!

Just for accuracies sake #4 is 'Teal Green Metallic' rather than light blue. It has some good company.

And the Black Paisley jumps to an early lead! But the pack is not far behind and there are indeed some Fender thoroughbreds in there!!!!

That Lonestar is Teal - OMG - That is an amazing color. Pic not doing justice!!!!!!
- I so GAS for either that or a Shoreline Gold Lonestar!

Also - tough call on the Paisley brothers. I had to go with the black. Seen a ton of the pinks. But the black?!?!?!? OMG

And the Strats - The orange was interesting but the combo of color/pic/whatever just didn't quite hit me the way the pink/mauve whatever did. I can see that ripping out some Autograph all night long, chugging, tapping, and whammy gymnastics goodness!

To jump on the accuracy bandwagon, #5 is Vintage White, not Olympic White.

I wanna love the Dashing ones Creamy, and if there were a relic category it would garner my vote ( depite the fact its clad in three inch thick Polyurethane)- it oozes Mojo.

The lipstick guitar is hard to believe is Seafoam- the pic is totally washed out, and show a total lack of effort and The teal green Strat against a aqua background didnt do it for me either- no contrast, and I'm not an enormous fan of either goosed up top Strats or utterly plain top Stats either, plus I knd of know what kind of wood is on some of these, and that also influences my opinion- I would never vote for a Basswood Strat , even if it looked killer .

I do like Metalflake Strats, red in particular but the Orange is a bit outlandish fopr me persoanlly- just a matter of personal preferance.

I'm going with the Sherwood Green Strat, even though I would be inclined to vote for a Maple neck Strat if one was presented that had sufficeinet "wow" factor, in fact, if the Sienna burst had been Maple neck, or maybe even a better pic of it-even though I prefer Cherry Burst by a wide margin, I might have voted for that.

The Sherwood Green '62 Reish is a Nice Strat , but nothing really bowled me over here cause of probably lackluster effort with the pictures as much as anything else.

^ b..bb..but..60's 'tri-bursts' (never heard them called that before) had Rosewood necks . The Basswood body is a little plain , isnt it, I mean, theres some pretty decent grain on a good Alder body.

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Poll#2 Fender Strats

I dont care if it has a 70 style maple neck...thats a sweet triburst.

Hey, I can go swimming in that aqua background any time I like; it's right outside the back door - anything else you want to contrast?
