Any of those three colors with double binding is going to look smashing!
New build...trouble deciding on color

Hey middy, have you positioned the actual body of the output jackplug outby further within the cup so a standard 1/4" jackplug with a 90 degree bend will stay engaged?
BTW....black with double white binding may be a special order but looks stunning

I never liked Fiesta Red until I picked up a Classic 50's Strat.
And I like this Tele with double binding:
With all that said, I will most likely go with double bound black or butterscotch, but this looks really nice as well...

Yes, the jack sticks out of the electrosocket by 1/4” or so.

Thanks middy....after 40 years, I have taken out the serrated washer, hence allowing 90 degree plug to be inserted with confidence of security.....

I'm partial to the color blue so, for me it would be the LPB for sure 
Good luck man!

Beautiful!I recently ordered an American Original 50's neck (maple fretboard) to replace the Classic 50's neck on my Partscaster. Recently got a hair up my butt about wanting bigger frets after scoring a really nice '14 American Vintage Hot Rod 50's Strat, so I ordered the AO neck with vintage tall 6105 frets. Neck should be here Wednesday.
Played my Partscaster all day today with the tiny vintage frets and have to say I still dig it. So I originally thought I'd just return the neck and be done with it, but then thought that would be silly and am considering building another Partscaster, but having trouble deciding on what color.
Here's a pic of my current Partscaster. All Fender hardware, OV pickups, and a surprisingly nice Squier CVC body with a Classic 50's neck:
I really like double-bound bodies. The three colors I'm considering are black, fiesta red and Lake Placid Blue.
Would be interested in hearing from others or seeing you're bound Partscaster bodies for inspiration!
None more black

Hmm…I wonder which color a guy called Fiesta Red would suggest…

While I'm partial to black double bound tele's I think the LPB would look excellent.

That's a tough call between black or LPB. Both would look killer double bound. Don't think there's a wrong answer here!
does he have a term for Antigua?
with binding, I think the good idea is Contrast
dark with light, light with dark, etc.

Double bound Tele's are the best Tele's, I'm fairly certain Jesus played one.

Twanger! Before doing anything regarding the color, check out what is available on Guitar Fetish for their bound bodies. Of all their products, I have found that their painted bound bodies are the most consistent quality
and easiest to work with. I have purchased a few of them and found them to be a great value. They offer a variety of colors. Oh, by the way, Fiesta Red is one of my favorite colors on and Fender style guitar. Matched with mint green or Tortoiseshell pickguards, they are the bomb!
