    Re: Roll Call: What color is your dream strat?

    I stand between Surf Green and Olympic White.

    Curiously, when I bought my Strat I was looking into a very beautiful Am. Spl. Surf Green one, almost bought it. But it just happened that I had then already seen a new Black/Rosewood Am. Std. at a near shop, with the fat '50s custom shop pickups, and thought I'd try it first to check the sound and tone.

    Came home with the black Am. Std. although the colour wasn't anything special.

    Then again, GAS is hitting me again, and I know I'll probably get myself a MiM in one of those colors soon enough.

    My dream color has changed to blizzard pearl. I liked it at first, but now I really like it. Before I was strictly a sunburst fan. But the blizzard pearl just looks wonderful.

    For literary reasons and for the decal, I've named it Vonnegut's Bung (Freud would have had another book to write had he known me).

    3T burst and mint green PG... most of the time without GAS. Otherwise, ...well, you guys know how it goes on and on and on.

    Like I said before, but now in real perspective: Olympic white/maple fretboard! My next acquisition!

    Mine isn't really a Strat or really a color: it's wood that turned a reddish-brown when I oiled it.

    I've come back around to 3 tone sunburst. Something about it, when not scuffed and worn out, looks somewhat elegant to me on a Strat.

    Re: Roll Call: What color is your dream strat?

    The color of my guitars is about as important to me as the color of my running shoes. That is to say, it's the last thing on my list. I'm more interested in how well they (guitars, running shoes, etc.) perform for me than how they look.

    Which isn't to say color isn't a consideration. Given an absolute equality between two or more of the same item, I'll choose one that is more visually appealing to me. But that can vary. A cherry red Telecaster might look super, but the same color on a Strat leaves me cold.

    I have an Olympic White Stratocaster that is the perfect guitar for me. If I had been shopping by color, I never would have chosen it. I have a White Ash Telecaster and a natural maple finish Telecaster that appeal to me, but even more is how they sound.
