I'm preferrential to stained, natural wood finishes with a satin gloss. There's a few solid colors I like, (Daphne Blue, Ice Blue Metallic, Tangerine, Sunset Metallic), but I'm not real big on solid colors.

I actually like the finishes already available of which Tobacco Burst in NOS would be the - "if you can only have one" finish.

If you are looking for suggestions not available:-

Hammerite - sprayed well it can look really cool and has a 3D look to it.

Years ago we did some walls with suede paint. Really matt with a tactile surface. I'm not sure it would last but might distress in an interesting way.

I am sure both the above would be sonically disastrous.

Considering the printed finishes that Fender did for the American rounders teams I would quite like a printed finish representing riveted aluminium panels in a retro aircraft look.

Thinking about it - Custom Shop printed designs - your artwork printed on your guitar. Awesome. I claim the intellectual rights.

I would like to have an American Deluxe with a genuine Firestorm red finish.

I know they never made any, but that's what I want.

This made me really think. What happened though is that my mind kept wandering to some kind of mural or scenic design. What? I don't know exactly as the possibilities are endless. It would be something nostalgic, cheerful, social, etc, along the lines of but certainly not limited to say, possibly a Currier and Ives kind of thing.

It would be a toss up between Surf/Sea Foam Green and Sonic Blue if I had to choose one or two, although I own more Black Strats than any other color. It's one of life's contradictions. :)

Abstract graphic art and or photo finish carried over to the neck and head. 8) :D

note: Ocean waves would be nice. Hubble space photos would also give me inspiration.
