I'm building a earlier 60s style partscaster and trying to decide whether to go with Surf Green or Sherwood Green. It's going to have a rosewood board, mint guard and aged white parts. I'm getting the body from Warmoth and was originally decided on Surf but then I looked at their Sherwood and kinda liked it. Anyone?

boris bubbanov · December 3rd, 2009, 03:38 PM

I like Fender CS's Sherwood Green with that combo, but I know zero about Warmoth's idea of Sherwood Green.

Kid Klash · December 3rd, 2009, 06:51 PM

Here's another vote for Sherwood green. You don't see it that often, and it does look masculine IMHO, especially with a rosewood neck.

Jakedog · December 3rd, 2009, 06:53 PM

Between those two, I say Sherwood.

If it were me though (not that you asked) there is only one all time coolest color for a Strat, and that's Sonic Blue.

I like Sherwood with rosewood, Surf with maple.

rangercaster · December 3rd, 2009, 07:19 PM

surf or seafoam !!! but sherwood is a nice color too ...

Radspin · December 3rd, 2009, 10:11 PM

Given the choice between the two, Surf, but of all the Fender greens I like Foam Green the best.

Brewbaker · December 4th, 2009, 01:14 PM

I went for the Surf. Hopefully it won't be too puke green but a nice aqua-leaning tone.

Ringo · December 4th, 2009, 06:12 PM

I think the Surf Green looks better w a maple neck, and as mentioned, you just don't see too many Sherwood Green Strats.

goinpostal · January 9th, 2010, 11:43 PM

Surf Green. I've never cared for any shade of green darker than SG except for Seafoam Green.

getbent · January 10th, 2010, 04:36 AM

Sherwood!

but, I'm partial...

I love mine... it is homemade too.

telideli · January 10th, 2010, 04:47 AM

Sherwood.

J.T.S · January 10th, 2010, 06:48 AM

Another vote for Sherwood.

fatboymjt · January 10th, 2010, 06:55 AM

...oh no you don't...your on your own buddy!....

JDaveG · January 10th, 2010, 08:45 AM

Sherwood green is my favorite solid color on a Fender. Don't own one, but I'll probably do a Tele build in that color one day.

A.B.Negative · January 19th, 2010, 03:38 PM

A difficult choice. I have a surf green Strat and a Sherwood green Precision, both are gorgeous!

Robert H. · January 19th, 2010, 04:41 PM

Shoreline Gold...I mean Surf Green

BigDaddyLH · January 19th, 2010, 04:45 PM

I've always loved the color of a dill pickle. Yuummm.... Picklecaster.
