My favorite colors are Vintage White(banana cream), Dakota Red, Sunburst (2, 3 tone or Sienna, I love all 3!) Olympic White.
It would probably be easier to list the finishes I DON'T like, that'd be Antigua...

This combo seems to dominate - I'm building a cream Tele with a maple neck. it's funny 'cause I'm using a black pg, which I would never do to a Strat. Teles just scream for black pickguards, most any color.

I thought about a gray body (Inca Silver) black pg and a rosewood fretb'd. I usually would go with maple but that combo seems to beg for r'wood.

I really love my Sienna Sunburst. The way the beautiful ash grain shines through and the way the colors transition to each other makes it the prettiest Strat color I've seen. Some serious eye candy. I also love most of the shades of red, Surf Green, Sonic Blue and white. I tend to like maple boards the most, but my next Strat will have a rosewood fingerboard.

[quote="PlankSpanker"]I like my Inca Silver Strat with maple fretboard pretty well.


Very nice. I was thinking (not planning) that if I used the take-off r'wood from my surf green (frmly one of my black) strat, but your pics have inspired me - I'm going to scuff it, prime, and paint. Now I have to find the paint formula or find a car color that matches. My surf green was easy because Leo just used existing car colors - surf green: '57 Chevy - I think Inca was a car color, but I can easily find out - I've seen (somewhere) the model and years Leo used - isn't the Internet great - the open access and free Internet? Now I'm further confused; do I use Inca or Pewter, which I also like. It's darker but that's ok. There are EC versions that Fender makes so looking at a sample is easy (and I don't have to do a model at http://www.yajimastringworks.com/tct/ys ... ekae-e.asp It's more complete than USA Custom Guitars' version, even has small screws for the pickguard). I have a white/lt gray pearloid pg that might add to the mix.

[color=#40FF80]Do you realize what size the monster in me is now that you've poked with a stick (or maple neck)? [/color] If my wife finds out that I've got another paint project underway, she'll ... Actually, she'll just roll her eyes and say not to paint near the house (paint odor - propellant and thinner odor really; paint smells great). Oh, oh. My hands are twitching, my arms are getting longer, my head is swelling - only at the top, my teeth are tingling, my nose is flattening against my face, my ears are getting pointy, and I'm hungry. Well, I was hungry before all of this, but now I want, gasp, vegetables. Inca Silver or Pewter... Inca Silver or Pewter... Inca Silver or Pewter... Inca Silver or Pewter... Inca Silver or Pewter... Inca Silver or Pewter... ????? Got it! Inca Pewter.

My 2 MIM Standard Strats
2001 Agave blue reminds me of the paint job on a 1957 Corvette
2004 Black with pearl pick guard. Love that one because it just looks old school to me.

I agree with Helen Keller, my favorite color is corduroy. Would look good on a Strat. :idea:
