Strat colour vote

Post by GrantB »

Ok...build is coming along, a year after I got parts...

Neck has a RW board, amber tinted. Vintage hardware. Korina body so like ash/mahogany grain. Can be trans coloured well.

Colour options:

Capri orange (look it up)
Black
Oly White
Trans white, yellow tint

All with some aging.

It's a unique Strat & deserves a unique colour (as in Capri) - the other colours have been done to death! Capri looks great with a Fender mint green pickguard imo!

There's no Danny so far, so I will say it, there's no Lake Placid Blue or Sonic Blue, I'm out.

Oly white would be my pick from the choices posted. Capri orange was a 70's colour wasn't it?

If it's a build I'll make sure it looks a bit different... So Capri orange

It’s more like a creamy burnt orange... It was my old original base for Fiesta red.
