I was browsing fender.com and noticed that a new color has been offered for the Standard Series, Copper Metallic Burst.
No colors on the basses but here it is on the Tele: 
So when you see the "NEW" image on the Standard series, don' to get too excited. |

Normal sunburst is nicer. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: NYC | | | this does look like a regular burst - in fact I saw one at a distance in a local GC and thought it was a cool looking (I've always wanted a brown/black burst) but up close it's definitely not a regular burst. metallic and gold-ish in the middle
I didn't dig it up close, but maybe it needs to grow on me . . .

Personally, I'd just stick with a straight-up 3-tone sunburst.

| | | | Is this a translucent burst where you can see the body grain or is it totally opaque? |

| | | | Interesting burst, but not a fan. I'd like to see fender do a blue burst.

problem is, it's so close (at least from a distance) to the most "sacred" fender color . . . it's gonna get flamed to a near crisp in short order methinks |
