these colors work for me. and sunburst, but not clownburst.

edit: this is actually a better pic of the oly white one, color wise.

Really exceptional sunbursts are rare, but the perfect Stratocaster has one.

My Am Std strat is the gun metal blue from the early 90s w/ a maple board...it's awesome.

Sonic blue, Mary Kaye White/White Blonde, and there might be others.

Holy shit, my Strat will be 30 years old in 2022... I remember reading about vintage 1957 Strats in the mid-late 80's...now I have one...sorta kinda...

Two or three color?

I've never liked three color bursts.

It's unusual, but pretty striking. I liked it when I saw it and its just as nice in person.
Not a color I would have answered as the ultimate, or even thought or known about 2 weeks ago.
For the longest time I've loved Burgundy Mist as far as the old auto finish colors go.

But really the truly definitive Strat color for me is the good ol sunburst/rosewood, preferably beat to hell like Rory Gallaghers or SRVs. Thats what I'd go for in a big bucks true vintage spec Strat.

The first time I saw it online I knew I had to have it.

I really like Fiesta Red, Seafoam Green, Mary Kaye, and (yes) Antigua, but I like by Black Strat best.

Guitar from Atomic Music, pickguard from Heel, pickups from RyanNo3. I call it the Friendcaster and to me it is beautiful

Yeah, two tone.

Sunburst is cheating, immoral and unscientific as it's more than one color. I thought we played fairly and squarely.

If you want to be a pain about it, any color apart from red blue or yellow is more than one color.
