I've always been a motorcycle fan, although I don't really ride bikes (maybe I will take some lessons, who knows... many friends of mine ask me to join motorcycle clubs all the time, especially when they see me play guitar with the band :salud::Banjo:)...

And the Indian Chief vintage in willow green has always been a personal favorite of mine:

Well, I think I just realized why:

I agree. I like that color a lot, especially for an instrument. 8)

I always thought that was the nicest colour for an old school style Strat.

Looking at the Indian, is that thing a flat head?

Indeed! Really cool de melo. 8)

Is that sea foam green? Sometimes it's hard to tell certain colours by on-line pictures. I recall a recent thread with another guitar/car colour combo. If I'm not mistaken it was either Arjay's guitar or car and the color was turquoise blue. Maybe we can have a Strat/Vehicle combo thread.

Cheers!

Cool threads!

Personally, I favor the blues when it comes to automobiles......LeMans Blue (Chevy), Acapulco Blue (Ford), Electric Blue (Mopar) but pretty much any of the colors from the '50s and '60s work well whether applied to a car or a Fender guitar.

Nice bike and axe, de Melo.

Many years ago I stood beside a classic Auburn convertible with a similar two tone colour, darker cream leather seats, similar tan rag top, and large whitewall tires. It was one of the purtiest things I ever saw. Some years later I decided to use a similar green (lower half) and cream (upper half) combination for our bedroom. Now all I need is the car, the bike, and the guitar. :wink:

I'm not a cycle rider or a big fan of green. But those are some awesome looking items.

I personally like any color on a guitar that strays from the ubiquitous black or sunburst, too many like that.

I would 100% get an Indian bike. I really like the Scout series.

You need a B. C. Rich Warlock to go with that.

But I'm not sure I'd call it a thing of beauty, like the Indian and the Strat.
