I went for 2 colour sunburst although Cherry Sunburst is my absolute favourite (which is still a 2 colour sunburst).

I do also like many of the solid colours (Fiesta Red, Olympic White, Aquamarine etc) but I think the Cherry Sunburst on an ash body has to be my number 1!

I've always been a sucker for Lake Placid Blue.

I really love solid colors.. I just wish fender would bring in some non-traditional burst colors..... Blue, Silver, Gold, anything but sunburst...

I picked solid color, even though I have a sienna burst. I just couldn't find a solid color one that wanted me to take it home.

It was a real toss up between 2 or 3 colour 'burst but as my first Strat ('65) was a 3 colour 'burst I went with that.Having said that though my '04 50th Ann. Strat has the 2 colour and it's just beautiful.Some of the new transparent 'bursts and see through finishes are spectacular also.

I really think Inca Silver is the best color, Midnight Wine is great too.

I personally have a black.

I like Solids, dont really like the sunburst. Looks lame and ancient.

Fender needs to do some new styles.

lake placid blue with maple neck.

i had a strat in this color back in the 60's, and like a dummy i sold it in 74 to fund my les paul purchase.

last december i bought a new l.p. blue strat that reminded me of my original. when my dad saw it, he said "you've kept that guitar in great shape." i didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't the same guitar. you see- he bought me my original strat back in the 60's

I like Lake Placid blue but my favorite is Sherwood Green.
I don't like reds for some reason...I'm a blue & green guy.
I do have one 2 color SB and it has that vintage look for sure.

Sunburst is nice, but give me a metallic anytime. Anyone get the new orange metalflake?
