Sunburst is my favorite finish on a Strat. I like the blond finishes of Teles best, so I guess I like the boring colors; however, it would be cool to see a blaze orange Tele with a black pick-guard.

After seeing this amp I've decided I need a Strat in British Racing Green. What a glorious colour it is.

:shock: I can't be the only person that feels like they need one of these :lol:

It's safe to say I will not rest until I own something in that colour.

Sure its not quite tradition BRG but it's still beautiful.

Mostly on a E-Type Jaguar. My father got one, it's mesmerising.

Cheers

Forget man salmon, I think I'm gonna have to build a BRG strat now.


Oh and Amerigo you're right, there's nothing quite like a Jag, or even an Aston in British Racing Green.

Hi Snowjoe: I've had both Jags and amps in Racing Green, but I've never had a guitar that colour:

Matter o' fact, that's not my only Racing Green Marshall. Though frankly that Vox is closer to the right green, to my eye; Marshall's version is too pale - when you compare it to the real thing in my photo.

Cheers - C

I think now it has to happen, my heat gun will be unleashed Wednesday to remove the paint from my Squier body I have lying around, now the challenge of finding a BRG paint begins.

I've never thought that the guitar offerings were "drab", maybe limited is a better word.

Now on the apparel, why all black, that's pretty drab to me.

The tie dye strat I had was a glorious color IMO. :D
