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?

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....

....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).

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.

A nice Olympic White that has aged to a mellow vintage colour!

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

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

Both with a reverse large headstock and a reverse-angled bridge pickup.

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.
