Poll: The best Fender "Red" custom color...

[Mosstone]

That's easy... Candy Apple Red.

You can check out my CAR '57 RI here for the proof:

I've read that CAR was Leo's favorite finish too, so I must be right.

This is good haha! I knew CAR and Fiesta would be the two big dogs. I guess they are the most iconic in a sense, but boy Fender has a lot of other good looking reds!

Where's the Crimson Red Transparent?

Yep. That's my pick. With Candy Apple as a fallback.

Yes, I know these aren't Fenders, but they'll do for illustration purposes.

CAR. But I'm colorblind so what do I know?

What about that new "Seminole" red, that was short lived on the '63 AVRI Precision Bass?

Very cool color.

 

[RyanKW]

Sunset orange, which is really more of a red.

 

[MMiller28]

Burgundy mist, because basic red is a visually offensive color.

 

[FingerDub]

Panty red.

 

[Fender_Bender]

Fiesta all day looong.

Is that the Guitar Reranch colour?.

I voted Dakota, which is my favorite Fender red, but I was thinking: did they ever make basses in Dakota Red, other than a custom order (or Custom Shop offering)? I'm not sure if I've ever seen one.

Not that I'm aware of but there's always been a lot going on in Japan that we're never aware of.

No, it's a custom shade my luthier mixed up .
