You mean besides Antigua? Burgundy mist metallic. A misnomer that shudda been metallic mauve. Pink is fine; burgundy is good; but don't care for mauve.
JMO, of course

Tweed sounds better
Pink should only be used on womens underwear. Or lipstick

I have two different pickups where the edges are chipped. They came to me that way.. They still work fine, and I don't really care, but with my close up photography, people are always pointing it out to me..

Hey I like that color!.. Metallic Wine Red. :heeAh, glad to see the old Tonefreak is back.;)
Yes, I have bought guitars that sounded great but I hated the color. I hate CAR but I bought a CAR Burton standard.
It was this:

That'd be a manufacturing defect.
Natch! It's also sporting the oversized headstock in surf green. It was created for a "Beach Boy" who forgot about it.Surf Green is awesome with a rosewood neck
I keep winding-up playing white ones that people think suit me. How bizarre. Must be 'cause Ayma Vergan

I'm color blind and a shitty photographer.
Hey, Photoman
Would it be cheaper to send my guitars to you for pix or to import you to Alabama?

Cool axes. Is that one a LPB? Most LPB that I see are either MIM or a custom piece like a Lentz. Please don't destroy me and tell me you have a Lentz LPB S type unless you're willing to sell it to me.
Cheaper to send them here...but your not serious, are you?

Nah, just kiddin' Mark. I just gotta get off my butt and take some good pix.
I shot that the other day when you mentioned me with a pink strat.
I got it to a full screen shot but then couldn't log into my ISP to use the FTP and put them on that site. My site only shows the smaller photos for some reason, and it lost a lot in the compression.
Fender23, the LPB is a 60's Classic MIM.
The two white ones and the red one are MIJ.
The Tele is a 2000 American Standard.
The natural is the GritoCaster with parts from here, there and everywhere.
The Hardtail is my #1- 88 American Standard with a Big Apple Strat body and locking tuners from a Strat Plus.
One interesting note-the white one with the rowewood board has stock pups from a Tokai AST-62.

I like the colors of all of mine, well I don't count the PhotoFlame finish as a color.
Here's one of my favorites. It's either Carribean Mist or Ocean turquoise.
And I'm particularly fond of my MIM Daphne

It was Windows firewall keeping me out of my ISP web space...
this is the same pic but looks mucho better.

Ugliest-hands down-is the polka dot Buddy Guy Strat...I'm sure it is one Great sounding guitar, but it is soooo Ugly. :lol
Mine are Midnight Wine and Arctic White...the wine is ok but I love CAR ..why I don't know, I just love that color.
Both of mine are MIM, play and sound incredibly well for lower line Strats...yeah, the hardware and pickup mods made a difference, but I'd have done the same mods on an American Strat too so...
Dear Moonie: I digs that "Gritocaster", even if it's got a maple neck. ("Maple for Teles, Rosewood for Strats" repeat ad naseum.)

Thanks Annie

Don, I don't so bad about the color of your Strat as I do about those two boat anchors in that thing! At least the color wasn't criminal activity. :)
Or was that Wilko??? LOL
I couldn't agree more.
I have a maple neck tele and a rosewood strat and a maple strat. I love the tone of all of them but the maple strat has a brighter tone that I really like. But A tele has to have a maple neck or it wouldn't be a tele.
Are you insinuating that there is something wrong with the color of my headstock?Wait until you see the headstock.
Nah, the color is fine. It's the ivoroid that throws me.:lol
I usually don't laugh seeing stuff...but those tuning pegs...Can we just forget those tuners? Let's have a drink!! :)
but double rings are correct for 1960... :lol
I stand by my comment that it's a cool guitar, just a little different ...
"Different" like a short bus? :lol
Those Tuners are different on that guitar - but what the hey! As to hating the color of one's Stratocaster - I am working on a makeover on mine this year - hoping to get it to change from Chocolate Satin to Surf Green! So far praying hasn't done it - (Billy Grahmn do I get my money back :) ... but it will happen in due time!
Looks like a friggin' chess set on top of the heastock all lined up like a row of pawns! :bugAre you insinuating that there is something wrong with the color of my headstock?
Well... It' Gibson powered, so it's got Gibson Keys. he he. It's my second favorite Strat. Warmoth ash body, 80's Squire Japan neck. 1976 Pat number T-Tops with Antiquity covers.
BTW,
The one in my avatar has single ring klusons. The body is Seafoam green with a mother of toiletseat pickuard! I sold it a few years ago on ebay.
Well Wilko, pink might not be my first color of choice, the tuning pegs are goofy, and the boat anchor humbuckers I'd never put in a Strat body...but you know what? If that thing plays good, and sounds the way you like it to...all power to ya!:)
I think they would look good on a large headstock, eh?
:lol
:lol
So, it's not like you took your sunburst Strat and routed it and painted it pink...Warmoth ash body, 80's Squire Japan neck. 1976 Pat number T-Tops with Antiquity covers.
I still say it's cool...:lol
Yeah, I just went through this. I got an am dlx. std. Strat in teal green metallic with matching headstock paint about five years ago. At the time I thought it looked like a cool surf guitar, but over time it just looked gaudy to me (I have pretty boring taste in guitar finishes). Plus I didn't like the maple fretboard. Last weekend I was able to be a part of a brokered deal where I traded mine for a brand new 50th anniversary production Strat in black with a rosewood board. I'm way happier now. (part of this deal included a '65 Deluxe Reverb, so I'm happy about that too...)
I finally got 'round to taking a photo of my '94 (Bought new) originally Surf Green Jeff Beck Stratocaster, refinned to my favorite car color - '56 Ford Peacock Blue. This is my "Parts Mule" - it's had a half dozen different necks/pickguards/etc. over the years. Now my #1 player:
I think peacock blue looks more like this(?):
No, that's really more like what my Foam Green (correct) refin looks like. It's a REALLY hard color to photograph - it's blue, but with a HINT of a darker greenish tinge to it; reminds me of some swimming pools. Check out '56 Thunderbirds & Crown Victorias for the proper shade - my guitar IS the "right" color, I just can't capture it!I think peacock blue looks more like this(?):
My 2004 Am Deluxe is Honey Blonde. It's too bad I don't have any pix of it except in my avatar because the color is very cool and I really like it...but any Fender authorized photos, catalog and website versions, look NOTHING like the color it is.
Tele-Bob called it Frappachino...and that's about right. It's kinda like a coffee with a lot of milk added color.
