Redoing my strat

[pes_laul]

For my birthday me and my dad are redoing my strat the other day we ordered new tuners, were getting a handwired faceplate with GFS pickups with a new pickup switch and all that jazz. Were gonna paint it too pretty soon too. Any suggestions for a new color, I was thinking like pete townshend red.

it's a guitar fetish pre wired face plate

How about black like Clapton's favorite? 'Course, I'm a fan of red guitars, so the Townsend red'll look just fine. Good luck with it!

 

[pes_laul]

well my guitar is already black so I'm trying to do something radicaly different

 

[bigoldron]

How about a metallic red? BTW, you'll like the Guitar Fetish pickups if you've never used them before.

Go with what your first instincts tell you on color. Trust the gut on that one. If Townshend red pulls you, pull the trigger on it. I like red also. On the fender chart, I like Torino (I think that is the Townshend one), Chrome or Frost reds. http://www.fender.com/resources/colors/ :rockon:

Cool, we ordered a new tremolo for my bridge and we have to measure the holes on my tuners (to get new ones)

Good choice Kris:AOK: That is what I would have chose, I am thinking of white on a guitar build down the road. What shade of white? Arctic white, off white, aged white?
