If you don't like a strat, colour won't matter.
If you like a strat, the best colour is likely one you have seen on someone else's strat.
This is the way.

...love Strats. They look good in any color.

There wont be too many that will agree with me but I'm very keen on brown.

Mocha to be precise.

1973 and 74 seems to be the best years for this colour as its a lighter brown than the later years of the 70's when it became quite dark.

BTW, Walnut and Mocha are apparently not the same colour which I found interesting as I always thought they were.

Apparently Mocha is slightly transparent and lightly metal flaked.

It was introduced in 1973.

Walnut was available in 1972.

Anyway thats what I read.

Heres a pic of the guitar I recently purchased.






For what its worth I also like Sunburst.
