Like you, I think they're great too! I'm all for something a bit different, finish-wise as long as it looks good. Old Eric has always been a man of some taste, not only in his choice of guitars, but also his cars and suits. If only I had the same money..............
By the way, don't know if you already know, but there's a company on eBay, called 'The Painted Player', that produces a whole line of these special finish guitars. They do the Clapton 'Fool' SG, Hendrix's psychedelic V, Harrison's Rocky Strat and all of the 'Crash' designs. You choose the 'level' of the 'donor' Fender and leave it to them.
By the way, if you fancy a Hendrix psychedelic V, I produced a very close replica for my son, using car touch-up pens and the materials cost all of about £25! Mind you, I used to be a graphic artist, so did have a head start, so-to-speak.
I'd go for it Derek and get yourself a 'Crash' Stratocaster. Be different and say NO to yet another Fiesta Red!
Stephen.
