Help me choose what body

[Highbinder]

Lo folks,

Considering buying a replacement body for my bebe, my strat, Natasha, with my tax back (whenever it arrives ) and up until this point I had been searching for a burst nitrocellulose finish specifically. I had shown and decided on a Kavanagh custom shop two tone burst, but looking at their other finishs..

My bebe as she currently is is just below. Its a lifeless poly finish and its got to go.



So help me decide..

Two Tone Burst,

'Clapton' Black,

'Hendrix' Olympic White,

Candy Apple Red,

IMO burst looks the nicest, especially with a black pickguard, and will age (and relic) very nicely. If I went with any of the other colours I think I'd have to go the extra effort and replace my plastic parts* as I don't like the look of any of them with the current black setup. The other colours would however still look amazing a bit worn in, and are all classics (I originally bought it with the intent of having a cream 'woodstock' lookalike)

*which is problematic when it comes to my Tonezone humbucker as its the actual bobbins that are black and not a cover over the pickups

So, what do you think guys?

Oh and as a reward for helping me,



An awesome song

Get the burst for sure man. Its sick looking. Too many people just have the standard red(myself included), or black.

I love strats though, you should go for a whole new guitar and get it with a rosewood neck on it. I prefer playing rosewood so much more than maple. Just preference though =)

I love strats too. I almost bought a rosewood HY1 with three tone burst, just like Bob Marley's, but decided against it. But I prefer maple. I get my fill of rosewood on my acoustic

I'm really diggin' the two tone sunburst. My second choice would be the black.
