Are there shot's in color of his Fiesta Red ? Funny how I never noticed he had a FR.


.......update....

So...

The red/maple board strat was a special order model. I think it was a '64. At that time a maple neck was a special order. It would of had a 'round lam' maple vaneer cap, same as the rose wood board models. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought it was candy red.

aha... O.K. upon further review I see the top pic does favor a CA Red . On the other hand, the Monterey's background is FR and
in the vid I posted I would suspect that Black & White hue favors a brighter red than if it were a CA Red. I can easily be waaay off on this; he's wearing the same jack as in the first pic.
The link was at the very top. Here it is again on YT:

Nice little Dweezil vid on that Miami Pop Festival restore

That red/maple Strat was used in the Stockholm May 67 TV session, the one with Wind Cries Mary and Purple Haze....and a killer tone to boot! Fender red colors are gorgeous, every one of them. My favourite is Dakota Red though. I have a November 64 Strat neck that I just ordered a MJT Dakota Red body for.

I remember Dakota Red ! Great color ! I like those Sherwood Green's, too.


Nothing like the colors today and not that it matters...
...Kinda notice the same color trends in vintage to modern cars.
Surprises me sometimes; on the expressway I see a modern car with a vintage color and say things like - hmm, that don't look right. Like Arctic White on a Stratocaster where's the puke smillie

umm... More than half of my guitars are black... I dunno ? Eventually, yet another one in time, as I will be seeking a Les Paul Custom candidate with '69 appointment's; waffle back tuners, witch hat knobs; and not to mention the size of the belly cut. It would be nice to do find it in Black, but a dark Wine Red w/gold hardware wouldn't be bad at all.
Either or, both will be sportin' T-Tops ! Just hope I find one under 9.5 lbs. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Mine has cream trim and gold speed knobs (looks like the "Cause we've ended.." Oxblood) if that's ok with you, JJ...

i realise that i have only black and white guitars ^^ ( and wood ) it seems unconscious lol.
??? and to make things perfectly coherent, i have a grey - silver one , ha ha

i'd really dream to have one jeff beck strat body , or deluxe body, but refinished in this kind of sea foam green ( not surf green, it's different ) , in cellulosic or why not poly. same as on this triumph i saw in dinard, west of France, Britain.
