I'm looking at the New Fender Player Series Mustang Guitars. Can't decide on a Color/Pickup combination. Anyone have any thoughts/preferences?

Well; if you want a Pau Ferro fretboard, your only choice is Firemist Gold with white pick gaurd and pickup covers, and black knobs.
If you want a Maple fretboard, your choices are Sonic Blue with white pick gaurd and pickup covers, and black knobs or Sierra Sunburst with black pick gaurd and pickup covers, and black knobs.

Personally; I'd go for the Sierra Sunburst...because I don't currently have a "Burst" in my electric guitar collection, and I've always preferred Maple fretboards.

These are not "Custom Shop" guitars....you don't get to pick and choose combinations unless you modify it yourself.

I just ordered a new 2017 shell pink Mustang with a pau ferro fingerboard. I’ve been wanting this since they came out and can’t wait until it arrives. I heard that if you can’t stop thinking about a particular guitar then it’s meant for you to have it.
Good luck with picking out your new Mustang!

Thank you both! Yes the Shell Pink is a nice finish on a Mustang-in my opinion!

Care to share where you ordered a "new" three year old guitar? I'm just curious. Also let us know how dry that fretboard is sitting in a box in a warehouse with Silica Gel Packs for 3 years please---that's GOTTA be crazy dry.

White dog: Thank you, yes I purchased my 2019 Shell Pink Fender Mustang from Chicago Music Exchange. It arrived packaged extremely well. Upon opening I was thrilled because my guitar is so beautiful! As for the fretboard it looks fine and doesn't appear dried out, LOL! With that said I will be taking it to my local guitar shop this weekend for a professional set up. Lemon oil will no doubt be used on the fretboard.
I'm totally happy with my purchase and CME has more of these in stock at the time of me writing this post. Rock on!
Dating info: 2010 – Present Mexican Fender Serial Numbers...
This time they chose the letter “X” to represent the second decade of the 2000s. The first two letters following the “MX” serial numbers indicate the year of production. After the “MX##” prefix, six digits were added. SO...with my serial # being "MX19......" It's manufacture is from 2019. So really not three years old but very current.
