Rank ALL Color Options for Production Models

[fullmetalguitar]

Since the 4th batch colors were just released, I thought it would be fun to rank each model according to which colors you think are the best. Each model has had 5 possible colors so far, so put them in order from best to least favorite. I'll get it started.

SD1: white, slime green, black, blue, red
Tele: gold, tangerine, black, purple, red
SoCal: tangerine, gold, green, purple, black

The only thing I have to say is the Candy Plum on the So-Cal is a MUCH better color than the Candy Purple on the Tele

[jet66]

I don't think I can really rank them, it was a close call for my pick of Pagan Gold over Candy Green, Candy Blue, Slime, and Candy Red. I also really like the Candy Tangerine. If I had to pick my least favorite, it would be black, but only because there are so many guitars that only come in that one color lately.

WHITE!!! THEY MADE A WHITE WITH CHROME PARTS! HOLY HELL!!!

[vondran]

Here's my top choices.

1. Tang SoCal.
2. Tie: Purple SoCal & White SD1.
3. Black SD1 (but I'd install brass knob, strap buttons, and pickup rings - Classy!).
4. Slime Green SD1.
5. Red SD1.
6. Pegan Gold SD2.

In this order...

Candy red
Candy plum
Candy tangerine
Candy purple
Candy green
Pagan gold
Candy blue
Slime green
White
Black

White - in and of itself - is meh as a color. But the zebras and chrome hardware just make that one a cool, full package. Taking in the full package would definitely move it up in the ranks, but I ranked on the colors only.

black.....

[MikeStrat]

Why did they put chrome parts on the white? Whyyyeeee? The zebra pups are cool but........ It makes it look washed out.

SD1- White, Green, Blue, Black, Red
SD2- Purple, tangerine, black, red, gold
So-Cal- Purple, Green, Tangerine, Gold, Black

I like the candy plum but really wouldn't want a Socal. I'd like to see the SD1 in the candy plum. Not really into the white with chrome hardware. I have a black and red SD1 and so far like the red and black better than the other colors. The slime green's cool but just not for me. Would have probably been on the bandwagon for the white if they just left it with black hardware.

[fullmetalguitar]

SD1- White, Green, Blue, Black, Red
SD2- Purple, tangerine, black, red, gold
So-Cal- Purple, Green, Tangerine, Gold, Black

Funny how people's tastes are so different. I ranked gold as the best color for the tele, and you ranked it last. At least we agree on the white SD1.

To me, if the white isn't Snow White Pearl, forget it!!

I love my Candy Blue SD-1.

[Grandturk]

Lessee... Mine would be...

San Dimas 1
- Black
- White
- Green
- Candy Red
- Candy Blue

San Dimas 2
- Gold
- Black
What else did they come in???

SoCal
- Black

Tie for a distant last - Gold, Tangerine, Green, Purple ( I really don't like the candy colors)

Checked out the latest batch in person this past week. Definitely a nice set. However I have to update my preferences with the white dropping to the 6th slot. It was very nice but would have been cooler in pearl white.

Here's my top choices.

1. Tang SoCal.
2. Purple SoCal.
3. Black SD1 (but I'd install brass knob, strap buttons, and pickup rings - Classy!).
4. Slime Green SD1.
5. Red SD1.
6. White SD1
7. Pegan Gold SD2.
