A classic Fender colour. Really the sort of thing you'd use on a big American car with tail fins. Which is the sort of colour that you should paint a Strat. They've got that 60's industrial vibe to them, and they look best in bold, solid colors. I can just about accept the old two-tone sunburst, but all the modern metallic finishes and bluebursts and such.... [shakes head].
With you there. Lovely guitar.
