Favorite Fender Custom Color

**daze** · 07-25-2002, 10:14 PM

I must admit I'm a sucker for Fender's '50's & '60's Custom Colors...my favorites being the metalics Burgandy Mist, Inca Silver, Sherwood Green & Ocean Turquoise.

What's eveyones favourite Custom Colors?

Charcoal mist metallic

**Big Al** · 07-25-2002, 11:12 PM

Mary Kaye Blonde.

**nickvig** · 07-25-2002, 11:13 PM

Grafitti Yellow

My dad's 76 Chevy Luv pickup was that color new! I've always wanted a strat that was that color. Too bad I can't talk Warmoth into making one for me!

Me too that goes without saying, but is it a custom color?
If so I want to change my answer.

Gunmetal. They only used it for a short while in the mid 80's. I also like the new sage green.

**Ken** · 07-26-2002, 05:01 AM

Sherwood green
Fiesta Red
Lake Placid Blue
and the color of this Strat. Dealer swears its a one-off custom color. Not for everyone, but I'd love to have guitar in that color.

**hank** · 07-26-2002, 05:11 AM

Daphne Blue, although Sherwood Green is a close second.

Hey Ken, hard to tell from the pic but that looks like the Dick Dale sparkle paint job.

My next Strat will be Daphne(sp?) Blue, rosewood board, mint guard.
Is that a custom color?

Spose, silmilar, but it's more green than the Dale color. They call it Chartreuse Green Metallic. I've seen the guitar in person and it looks less sandy gold than it does green.

I've got a refinished candy apple red '57 Strat, but I'm not a fan of custom colors, or any solid painted wooden object for that matter (it figures that my Les Paul is white and my Jazz Bass is black, I buy for tone).

**Johnnytone** · 07-26-2002, 06:16 AM

For Teles I like ocean turquois with rosewood nesk

For Strats I like daphne blue with maple neck

I'd like some scrambled egss with sausage, bacon, and ham, please. Oh, and go ahead and put some American Cheese on it too.

Make it a double-sized one. I'm really hungry.

Hey Winston:
When I went and picked out my Tele, I was seriously considering a Strat that looks just like yours. But either the bridge saddles or the neck was off. The only way the low E string would align with the neck was to turn the saddle to the left.

Weird.

No, but that doesn't mean I can't be hungry again does it?
Bring me an oreo milkshake, white toast with butter and some grape jelly with those eggs, if you please.

**Gazza** · 07-26-2002, 06:58 AM

Inca Silver or Daphne blue!

Johnnytone, That is weird. It took a bit of set up work until I felt comfortable with this but nothing major. Just tweaking, which was different for me because I'm so used to doing adjustments on LP's. BTW, Did you ever find a high gain pedal that you liked?
