Received my brand new american std candy cola strat with maple fb. Had to wait awhile on backorder from mf but the wait is over.

Just a real thrill to own an american icon guitar like this. Looks, feels, and sounds great. Threw in one pic of my G&L Tribute ASAT too...

Very Nice Strat...nothing quite like a brand spanking new Fender Stratocaster :!: Nice choice of color...although it looks more like CAR? Or was that just the lighting? Either way a real beaut :!:

Nice woodgrain on that G&L too!

The Candy Cola does have a "metalic flake" look like many cars do so I know what you mean. Not that noticeable unless you get right up close or have the correct lighting. I'm very happy with it. I'm really impressed by how nice the neck feels and looks. The tinting and gloss on the front of the neck is really nice.

If I needed to hit someone ala Keith Richards I'd pick the G&L and risk messing up the nice finish. It's build like a tank and would likely still be in tune...
