Candy Apple Green - how did I not know this was a thing?

a la here 



(other videos are available - but it was where I first saw the colour)

Nice don't think it works w. tort and black and white plastics, too much going on. Needs an (off)white pickguard and white plastics. 

fretmeister

I like that.

Black plate would be better of course. Tort is worse than pineapple on pizza.

TimmyO

aye agree re mix of colours with the pother parts - just love that green metallic shade

Isn't it the same as the "7up green" Clapton wanted on his first run of sig strats? Or was that not metallic?

Candy Green Metallic nitro, non-reliced. I can see that guitar happening to me in my lifetime at some point.

red tort on olympic white  is a good thing

I had a Squier CV double bound 60s Tele in Candy Apple Green. It was really nice, I put it on eBay with a fees offer, then changed my mind about selling it but someone hit buy it now before I took it down! It was a really nice colour though!

Here’s my NGD post..

No you're right, it's very similar to that.  Mike Keneally has one, he's changed the scratchplate (and pickups) a few times:

Well, I don’t need much of excuse to post my candy apple green xotic!

The colour itself is really nice, but definitely looks best with white/parchment plastics and a maple board.

Isn't "candy apple" any colour that has a gold or silver base coat?

Coda’s been getting a few Candy Apple Green examples of various builds from the Fender CS lately. I think Doug really likes that colour!

I'm sure I've seen candy apple blue, in context of car/bike finishing...

Paul Drew really does have a lovely touch. He sounds great on anything he plays on, whether it's a miced amp, a load box with IRs or straight digital.

I stumbled across the channel when I was doing my AMP1 research - he's a fantastic player

I think that strat was listed at squealing pig guitars, looked at if lots. Wish I'd bought it now. Although of course it might not have sounded quite so good for me!
