Okay, it looks like i'm getting close to buying my MIA deluxe strat ash, hopefully in a month or two. the only problem i'm having now is what color to get.

i'm trying to decide between aged cherry sunburst with a maple fretboard, or the wine transparent with a rosewood fretboard. i love the wine transparent/black pickguard combination, but i think the aged cherry burst is pretty sweet looking too. Any suggestions?

Aged cherry would be my vote. Also, I had maple necks on a SX bass and my squier strat, both guitars I used to own, and loved them so I'd go that way.

It's all totally what works for you though.

yeah i might go into a guitar shop and try each one out on the amp i have at home, look at em each for a few hours.... i'll decide somehow and thanks for the suggestion. i have always liked the look of a maple neck, too. both of my current guitars have rosewood fretboards.

I personally think the wine with a maple fingerboard............sorry not much help there!

I love a rosewood fretboard - I don't have enough of them. But they're all pretty.

Does that help?
