The best color for a Strat

Re: The best color for a Strat

I'm a bit burnt on the classics like SB, black, red, white, and don't care much for 60's pastels. I like metallic finishes a lot, like Inca Silver, Shoreline Gold, and most shades of blue besides baby blue.

I saw that on their site like two years ago. Is it still there or did you save it?


I've really been diggin metalic burnt orange lately. Or the red and white candy stripped Charvel in the super Strat thead. That was killer.

This thread's been pretty enlightening.

Some of you guys have terrible taste.

Re: The best color for a Strat

paisley is of course a great color but i really like the old white blonde where you can still see the grain thru it

Re: The best color for a Strat

paisley is for real men.

Re: The best color for a Strat

I've wondered about this same question as well.

The blue/mint/rosewood does look nice.

Black with maple is a classic.

I like a tritone with rosewood and white or mint as well.

Black with a "Ringo" pickguard for me!

Re: The best color for a Strat

Daphne or Sonic blue are both great. Any white looks great with a white pickguard, too. Olympic, Arctic, Vintage white. And my favorite Fender color is Lake Placid Blue, but I don't like it nearly so much on a Strat. That's really a Tele color in my mind.

Vintage white for me.....but its not a patch on paisley.

Re: The best color for a Strat

I really like my Candy apple red strat but sunburst is a classic wouldn't mind seeing a butterscotch one as well.

Re: The best color for a Strat

Nope, Paisley is great for 80s Superstrats but really not that great for Strats circa 2011.

Midnight Blue, White and last but not least Sienna Burst on the other hand...

Paisley for the win.

Re: The best color for a Strat

I have to say I'm impressed and surprised, overall.

Any of the unearthly colors from the 50's for me. If it looks good on a huge American 50's car with lots of chrome, it should look great on a Strat.

I just google imaged "flamed maple strat" and that's what came up. Not a huge fan of strats, but after seeing that. I kind of want one, lol"

As long as it's paisley I'm cool.
