They originally only came in Olympic White, Aztec Gold, and sunburst. I'd go with one of those. 

[jimmyjazz 45513]

Sonic Blue for me.

I know we tend to be traditionalists, but I’m in love with the sounds I hear from Suhr’s JM pros.  So much so that I bought a pair of the Suhr P90s that I am going to throw into a partscaster soonish.

I never looked at it like that. Very cool..

[Celery Man 20874]

Just to be clear, since i don't think we've explicitly stated that bit of Fender lore - Fender actually used Dupont auto paint to finish their guitars in that era. So the guitars literally shared colors with cars of the time. I need to actually go through and read that Strat book I have... The Stratocaster Chronicles

Correct.

[jimmyjazz 45513]

Yup, it was all derived from automotive paint.

How about a Jazzmaster in AMC Gremlin "Meconium Green"

[jimmyjazz 45513]

Good god, I've sneezed out sinus infection blockages that aren't that gross.

Man, 70s colors.  My best friend's mom growing up had one of these.  It was the first car I'd ever seen that had a hole where I could see the street through the floorboard.  And that was in the early 80s so it couldn't have been that old. 

What a hunk of crap.

So much a hunk of crap that not even a Price is Right model could get you excited about "A NEWWWWW CAR!"

My girlfriend lives in a house that has damn near exactly this oven stack.

[jimmyjazz 45513]

That was the exact color of my parents' matching oven + washer/dryer.  Absolutely gross.

Why did they need to match? Were the washer/dryer in the kitchen, or was the oven in the garage?

Washer/dryer was in the kitchen, right next to the oven.

Amp question, but don't care, on the same quest as Deej (?) to combine the treads.

Looking for a small practice amp that's quiet enough for home; and decent sounding so I can use it live (mic'ed up of course). I generally play (poorly) rock on a Tele or LP.

2 in the price range that piqued my interest are the Spark and Vox Pathfinder. Any experience with either of these?
