Re: What colour do you prefer on a Stratocaster???
I like Strats in pastels; Sonic Blue, Shell Pink, Daphne Blue, Coral Pink, Surf Green. I'm sure there's more but it's 5:51AM for me right now. I'm surprised I can spell coherently.

Re: What colour do you prefer on a Stratocaster???
Hmmm... It's leaning towards Sonic Blue I think. 
I wanted a Ice Blue Metallic guitar from the start of this but it's not nearly as nice on strats as on Jag's and JM's.
So, solid colour it is:
I've just painted my Mustang bass in Dakota Red and I all ready have a black guitar (Blackie) so it's between oly white and sonic blue, and for me the oly needs to be properly beaten up to pass the test
I need to find some Sonic blue!

Thanks for all of the input guys!!
Your the best!

Re: What colour do you prefer on a Stratocaster???
I like Oly White with white guard and a big CBS headstock and maple neck.
But I also lke the blue with white guard.
I see that alot of you like the big CBS headstock as I do. Sometime around the late 80's these headstocks were out of favor and strats came back to the pre cbs small headstocks. Dealers were making fun of the large headstocks and people were swapping them out.
They were literally thowing the large headstock necks away!
Now they are popular again and I am glad.
