Funny how, of 3 seemingly similar guitars I like two of them but not the one EC is playing.

On the - if you could only have one finish - I love the sunburst on my 10 for 15 hardtail.

Of the above my favourite is the Egyptian but probably without a coloured scratchplate. Gold would be good.

I like the one EC has on page 2.

I'm just really surprised that this thread is getting more responses. :D

I'd like an UNfinished Strat to match my twins.

Much liking, but as a joiner by trade, I fear my OCD would mean I'd always want to get a sander to it.

I do like the idea of guitars with unique and unusual finishes. It is a gimic without being over the top. While we would always like to be remembered for our playing someone is more likely to say "Oh I saw this guy at ....." because of an unusual/unique guitar in the first instance. Perhaps that's why EC took to the art guitars? :lol:

Barn siding art meets guitar -- pretty cool! I'd buy one (assuming I had the money) on the creativity alone.

A boat dock in this case - not a barn. I had these 2 built for me soon after he came out of retirement - since then the price has doubled so doubt if I will be ordering a Strat version. Would be nice though - value has doubled in past few years and the matching set of 3 might have made more valuable. The Tele has over $600 in electronics in it between the Lollar humbuckers and the piezo system but is so ugly and unique that I'm not too worried about it being stolen.

I like to see the wood grain--so if it's interesting woodgrain, then Sienna burst
If it's bland woodgrain--then finish it in Burgundy Mist

I'd choose the color that is the color of a Creamsicle... sorry, not sure what it's called.
