1) 2-tone 50's burst (no red in between) with single-ply white guard with maple board.

2) Sky blue with rosewood board, especially a sky blue that DOESN'T quickly fade to puke-green with single-ply white guard.

3) Olympic off-white with pearly white guard.

Strats look good in most any color, and I do really like any of the "retro" colors like Sea Foam green just because the color alone really conjures up thoughts of days gone by.

If I had to pick only one though it would definately be a 3 tone burst with rosewood fretboard. The older and more "relic'd" the better.

I kind of like white Strats with maple necks.

Probably has something to do with Hendrix playing one at Woodstock, and George Harrison using on at the Concert of Bangladesh.

+10000000000, After I saw the woodstock footage of hendrix with the white strat, that's all I could think about for a month.

Polish it....what for??
It is a working machine!
Looks fab!

So's my car, and so are many other professional tools I use. I still wash and polish my car, and clean my tools, which also happen to be highly delicate instruments.

Well... I'm glad that I'm not the only one that liked the color. Glad to see that my work is appreciated. lol!


The body might be for sale. It's alder. After I got it all together, I realized that I'm not a huge fan of alder strats... lol! oh well.. you win some and you loose some. I still love the way the finish came out though.
