Well now, let's see ~

First of all you have to have at least one of each of all the essential colours.. So that means Black, Artic White, Fiesta Red, Daphne Blue and Sunburst (personally I'm a 2 tone man, but I understand some like the flashier 3 tone).

Then once you've got the basics out of the way, it's time to think about the one offs - those colours that really do make an impression and can't be ignored, but aren't quite essential.. So think Inca Silver, Sienna Sunburst, Teal, Aqua Mist and Seafoam Green.

Then of course you need to think about the ultra moderns, the Crashcaster finishes and the like. Oh and of course you can't ever forget about the most beautiful Strat of all time, which is the Jaguar Cars model finished in British Racing Green..

So on reflection then, the best colour for a Strat is obviously.. err.. well.. gosh, all of them I guess..

The best color for a Strat...........Caribbean Mist!!! Otherwise, I'd choose black.

I'm not picky about color as much as the feel and the sound, but I did end up with two sunburst strats and I love playing them both.



If I had to go out tomorrow and buy a strat for some reason, i'd probably go for White/maple, Red/maple, or Black/maple

I got nothing against rosewood (my Sienna is a *perfect* guitar) but I love those color combos.

my first strat- early 60's- lake placid blue/maple neck

my newest strat- same as above! (09 model)

I love those color combos too. I have the Black w/maple neck. I love the look of those two you have too though.

What neck type and which sunburst?

Everyone knows that the best color is the same best color
that's used on the Bentley Mulsanne sedans ...or scroll down

...but of your nominated choices I went with AW.

Sunburst...I will never forget seeing Eric Clapton in Derek & The Dominos playing that Sunburst guitar...Every Strat I ever had up until my EC Model Strat (Anthracite or Gray) was some sort of sunburst...but now I like a little variety but nothing can replace sunburst in my heart

That looks really cool

It is.....Thanks...It's also a carved Top and contoured back, it's a CIJ as I don't think any of the Aerodyne's were constructed stateside....
It is a Great guitar and matches my Red Translucent MIM.......

Now If I could only find the Aerodyne Tele in translucent Black.....

Anthracite?

Did you mean Pewter?



EC Grey looks similar but slightly darker. Too bad this is a limited-edition colour which was only offered for 2010.
