Dave Murray strat project

[DangerousR6]

Don't let the pics ("stock photos" you posted) fool ya - go with Vintage White.

Double-check Warmoth's site and look again at the Solid Color section and
you'll see Vintage White is correct.

Cream has too much "red" in it and therefore gives it a light tan-ish color (it's somewhat orange).

As well, Dave's strat color in that pic looks just like Yngwie's sig guitar; which is undoubtedly (Fender) Vintage White.

(I've always called those Vintage White strats "Banana Cream Pie" strats)

Well I'm color blind as all get out. And even I can see that the creme is closer to Dave's than the vintage white... :glasses9:

Cream

Vintage White

Dave Murray's...

I don't think any of them are a nexact match for Dave's.  In the showcase pics you posted, the pickguards are different colors.  On the cream body, that is a straight up pearloid pg, making the cream look dark.  On the Vintage white body, it's a cream pearloid pg making the body look whiter.  Warmoth's Cream on the paint page of the main site looks more like Dave's but this showcase version looks way darker.  Could be the camera, could be my monitor, could be the variables in mixing paint (like the disclaimer of getting pegheads and bodies painted at the same time).

I'd go with the Cream to look most like Dave's, but personally I like the Vintage white better.  I'd also get the Vintage Tint on the neck.

But that Vintage White pic he posted isn't a good representation at all, in fact it looks like Olympic White... Vintage White has the same color
as Banana Creme Pie (the filling).  The Warmoth official Vintage White pic is far different compared to the one he posted here.

Take a look at Yngwie's sig strat - that's (confirmed) Vintage White.
