the best colour for a strat is the color that sounds the best when you test them out.

I think the color is a matter of personal taste but if I was in the market for a new one I would get Candy Cola. I like it better than the Candy Apple Red and thats really nice too. With a maple neck, its sweet.

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 :!:

Anthracite?

Did you mean Pewter?

Image

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

Chromeface...I love that moniker by the way! Anthracite = Pewter/Grey...when they first came out the grey/pewter color on the Clapton Strat it was called Anthracite. Don't ask me why they made it so complicated...but maybe because Anthracite was a match for Porsche silver? By the way the tag that came with it from Fender says Anthracite as the color. Go figure.

Eric was seen playing a sunburst Strat in many occasions, even he sold "Brownie" for a Christies charity auction in 1999.

First was during a Rolling Stones gig at Shea Stadium in October 10th, 1989....

Image

....and the most recent was during a session at the ex-Servicemen Club (Chiddingfold, Surrey) in December 2004 with Dave Bronze (bass), Henry Spinetti (drums), Andy Fairweather-Low (guitar, vocals) and Frank Mead (tenor sax).

Image

The guitar I'm talking about is none than the famous T-Mobile Strat my good old friend Arne cited on many of his posts. It originally started life as a '56 Relic Strat before being later recapped with a flamed maple top and refitted with a 22-fret neck, Vintage Noiseless pickups & TBX/MDX tone controls.

The classics. Olympic white with a maple neck, black with a maple neck and Sunburst with maple or rosewood neck. 8)

Personally like to find a guitar that plays well to me. Each guitar, although the same model, can play differently.

Did you also like EC Grey and Daphne Blue? These guitars are no longer in production.

This is absolutely true. I always tell people to play as many guitars in their price range as they can to find the one.
