If you could order a Stratacaster or Telecaster and pick color and neck , maple or rosewood what would you go with.
i would get a candy apple red strat with a rosewood board to match my candy apple red/rosewood board tele.
60's style tele, robins egg blue or similar, off white guard, rosewood board 9.5 radius, 21 frets, large(ish) C shaped neck stainless steel large frets. Gibson small humbucker in the neck position, strat middle, vintage style bridge with 3 compensated saddles and pickup of course. OR the same in black, with double binding, and a gold adonized guard and a hand wired deluxe reverb to go with it
That's so weird -- with as much respect as I have for all you guys, I can hardly believe how wrong you are! Sonic blue, mint PG, aged plastics, all-ebony neck. And since I get to build it from scratch, it will have the bridge/tremolo, roller nut, and locking tuners of a Strat Plus, and a set of David Gilmour EMGs.
Shell Pink body, Tortoise pickguard, Yosemite pickups and a C shape neck with a little more shoulder, 9.5" radius, 22 frets (like an old Lonestar or Blacktop). Guitar Center has a similar FSR Player, but none for me to try within 200 miles. I'm afraid to order and have it shipped to the store, without playing.
Lake placid blue double bound strat, pearl pickguard, V shaped maple neck like my clapton but with a vintage tint. Same clapton sig strat setup electronics wise.
Oh man! Your comment about the binding reminded me -- I just love a bound fretboard. Back to the drawing board, I guess.
I was just going to order another white, maple neck Eric Johnson, but I may as well go with a Suhr Classic S Antique, rosewood neck, surf green, SSS
I have thought about this many times, but I'm so indecisive, I don't know what I want. Can I have one of every possible combo? I do like Sherwood Green with a rosewood board.
so close .... Faded fiesta red nitro, roast maple neck with rosewood, aged white PG off my 94 Am standard (nicely aged), 22 fret, 54 spec pickups from Bootstrap. Oh look - there it is, in my avatar!!!
I know it’s not a strat or a tele, but if I had my way (And a lot of money) I’d have a strat, tele and jazzmaster in this metal flake job with a rosewood neck with clay dots and binding and the matching headstock to boot
