So, What Colour to choose..?

What's Hot
JookyChapJookyChap Frets: 4234
Given that I am still trying desperately not to buy any guitars/the two Jaguars in the classifieds in particular, I thought I'd make myself a Jaguar to play with.

Unlike Jazzmasters the bodies aren't as easy to find, but I spotted this chap in Spain who does them and finishes them in nitro of various shades.

Anyway - I won one on t'bay with a low-ball bid, and now I have to choose the colour.

So what to go for..

My choices are:
Road Worn Blonde
Vintage White
Olympic White
White
Black
Antique Ivory
Dakota Red
Trans Candy Apple Red
Fiesta Red
Shell Pink
Reranch Coral
Sherwood Green
Seafom Green
Surf Green
Daphne Blue
Lake Placid Blue
Sonic Blue
Graffity Yellow

I'm kinda dithering between LPB and Sherwood green at the mo, but Shell Pink could be fun, and...white would match my JM...

    Not really a burst fan, unless it involves burning crosses, but white is good...

    Gotta be yellow. When was the last time you saw a yellow jag?

    Yellow's the happiest colour in the palette.

    I'll tell you what, it's easy for me to say as I don't have to make the decision. There are some awesome combinations for you to ponder with all that choice. Enjoy and choose wisely Mr Jooks. ;)

    Any of these
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    No Burgundy Mist option? Think I've seen the fella on t'bay though. To say I'm intrigued as to how it turns out, is an understatement.

    White-ish..
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    I've been watching a Burgandy Mist JM on ebay...hmmm.

    Forgot the link - this is the fella He seems to  be using GuitarBuild bodies for Strats, Teles and JMs, but getting the Jags elsewhere, I guess as they don't want to do them for some reason (at least they didn't the last time I asked).
