Hey guys, does anyone have any pictures of Warmoth's Candy green finish? I'm trying to decide what kind of green would look best for my custom strat. I was thinking of having Candy Green or Shamrock green but I don't like the look of the Shamrock green as much. I have seen candy green from fender custom shop stuff, but I am not sure if Warmoth's will look the same or not. I am also wondering if I should go with a satin or a gloss finish on it. If anyone has any pictures it would be much appreciated.
If it helps, I'm going to describe what I have in mind. I want to make a Stratocaster with a green body with a gold pickguard. The inpt plate and trem would also be gold, and the rest of the hardware would be cream. I also might try to see if a cream pickguard with gold hardware might also work. The shamrock green would fit the "theme" more considering the name, but from the website options, the candy green is closer to the color I want I'm pretty sure. The guitar would look like the one shown here but it would be a less dark green and a less brown gold on the pickguard.
Any tips or advice on this build would be awesome as it would be my first build and warmoth definitely seems to be the way to go. Oh and if there is a way to get a gold competition/racing stripe through warmoth that would be cool too, but I might just tape it out myself.
The guitar is obviously going to be named "Lucky" btw.
Much appreciated guys and thanks in advance for your time!
