New WW TS 52s with HB but anyone else hate the color?

Yeah I mean those are in Squier territory color wise. Which is a shame cause the specs are great.

 

Dig the sound of that HB

 

Horrible color.

 

I like the Black and the Vintage White.

 

That body color simply doesn't work with the non-authentic (but otherwise cool) roasted maple neck. IMO the builder must choose one or the other. Not both.

The thing that Wildwood does that's truly awful, is something else. A "Vintage White" so yellowed it is strong yellow - then they put a dark, obnoxious Mint Green pickguard on there. Yellow with Green, is disgusting. I don't care if some guitars ever came to appear like that, it is still to be avoided at all cost.

FMIC has some soul searching to do. Rosewood isn't going to be anything close to dark chocolate color again, and maple necks are not often going to be wanted in a virginal white bread color. But Fender's traditional, beloved body colors need necks of these colors. IMO they don't work with Pau Ferro, don't work with pale rosewood, and don't work with roasted maple.

 

Miami Blue would look great with roasted maple.

 

I would be happy with that butterscotch + the roasted maple neck. To my eye they go well together, but they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I do wear glasses!

 

The natural neck color looks like NOS, but the body looks well aged. The two do not go together in my opinion. I don't mind that neck on a blonde finish with lacquer that has a mild amber tint, like 50s blonde furniture, like Leo intended. But that school bus yellow color is awful with that neck, again in my opinion.

 

I’m not sure how accurate the colors are on a little image on a computer screen.
