Full Version: Choose Color For Me
GMC Forum > Discussion Boards > GEAR & PRODUCTION
ztevie
So I'm planning to build my own guitar for the first time. Well, not actually build from scratch, but assemble from parts I buy(body, neck etc)...
It is clear that it will be a superstrat with H-S-S, 24.3/4 scale neck, and probably 24 frets. Neck will be all maple, body will be alder painted with a solid color. It will have a pickguard...
Did some alternatives in Kisekae, please choose which one looks the nicest for you, or choose the last option. biggrin.gif

I would normally always go for at least a 2-tone, but out of these I would then suggest no. 2 smile.gif
ztevie
Yeah, the thing is, if I decide to paint myself, I wanna keep it simple since I have no experience painting guitars...
Dejan Farkas
I would also say No2 smile.gif
superize
Number 10
Chris Evans
I`d go with number 1, purely coz it looks just like the Adrian Smith Signature Jackson which I WANT! laugh.gif
Emir Hot

Yep, inspired from that, and also some superstrat Jake E Lee used to play back in the days... tongue.gif
#1 is on the top of my list at the moment, but it wouldn't be bad with some color either?

No 8
Mandos
Number four if I have to choose a solid colour.
Drew604

Ivan Milenkovic

ztevie
At the moment I am for #1, the board votes are for #1, Most of my friends like #1 or #2, my wife is for #7...
Considering all this:

Mandos

I ended up voting 1, but for me the first and the second are both really nice!
Praetorian
I like #4...very classic looking...but I would choose white pickups and knobs!
berko
I voted #7 because i love the orange-black variation. biggrin.gif It looks damn cool. Imo no2 is too common and no1 too much resembles the Iron Maiden Jackson model.

Be sure to keep us updated with info smile.gif
Toni Suominen
Definitely number 2, I want a Strat exactly like that! smile.gif
ZakkWylde
Iron Maiden style #1!!!!
OrganisedConfusion
Number 7. All the others are quite disturbing biggrin.gif

I voted 2.

Dumb question, what exactly is a super strat? Is it like a strat with a floating tremolo and 24 frets or something?

Not necessarily 24 frets but generally with a F/Rose or similar and with a Humbucker in the bridge.

For me a superstrat, is a strat shaped guitar with at least 1 humbucker, a flatter fretboard... More metal, if you will.
here's wikipedia's view on the matter:

1, 2, 9, and 10 look good but 1 is especially good looking
Ramiro Delforte

I went with #1 but i think anyone of them with the black pickguard looks good.
