Hey all, I've searched all over and seen tidbits here and there, looked at the Fender color chart, seen pics on line but I just want to make sure I have this straight. As far as Fender reds go from lightest to darkest they would be CAR, Mystic Red, Candy Cola? CAR is out for my latest strat project… so what I'm looking for is the darkest shade of metallic red. Candy Cola looks to be about as dark as Mystic. Mystic seems to have a purplish hue or is it just the photos I'm seeing?Trying to compare the two is nearly impossible using pictures as light, exposure, etc tints the colors differently. Has anyone actually seen a side by side of the two?

I'd like the darkest (almost burgundy) shade of metallic red for my new strat project… thanks!

I guess I didn't realize that Midnight Wine was a metallic color… I was really shooting for a U.S. made body but I guess I'd be open to an MIM body I've used plenty of them in the past and have no real beef with MIM stuff.

And after poking around a bit, did not realize that this color is available on the old pool rout MIA bodies. Cool beans...
