Ok I decided to do my Squier Vintage Modified a little different and more of a traditional relic.

Anyways I want to do a pastel Fender color for a long time so I need some help choosing.

I am almost 95% I am going to do Daphne Blue but need some other opinions.

Pick from the mockups below..

1.) Daphne Blue

2.) Surf Green

3.) Coral (basically faded Fiesta Red)

I am leaning towards Daphne or Coral cause ill be doing the Talkbass Relic which was decided unanimously to be Seafoam Green with rosewood and a tort guard.

But thats a different story this is going to be for me. But its hard to pass on that Daphne looks so sexy the more I look at it the more I want it
 
Didnt see the fight Brett, but I would like to know who won, Lesnar dominated the one mma I saw him in.

But on the topic at hand, I would like to retract my vote for seafoam green and vote for Lake Placid Blue (my fav. finish for a bass). I didnt know LPB was an option when I voted.
 
I've always thought the metallic greens (ocean turquoise metallic, teal green metallic, sherwood green metallic) looked great with a maple fingerboard. That turquoise metallic/maple board strat on pg 140 of the gruhn book is spectacular!
 
First choice:

1) Daphne Blue because blue is my favorite color.

2) Surf green would be next because it's so retro and stands out amongst the crowd letting everyone know you're your own man, screw the status quo!

3) My last choice would be the aged olympic white because it reminds me of jimi hendrix at woodstock! :D
