I had a '65 Inca Silver Strat about 20 years ago that clear had yellowed and gave it a bit of a green tint. Still one of the most gorgeous guitars I've ever owned. I'd definitely go with the silver. That champagne gold color doesn't work for me. Reminds me of grandmaw's car

That would be spectacular!

I dunno, I kind of dig the gold too. Reminds me of a 50's T-Bird. Probably because it's the same color!

All the bird's they did were just too fine! The "EE Blue" er, I mean "Pleham Blue" is very nice too.

That silver is great! I can't recall ever seeing an original one in that color....but then I seem to have forgotten many other things...

Seems they were rare going by this link to a FBIII

I think I read that Pleham Blue and Cardinal Red were most common.

I wonder how many custom color Firebirds were built in the 60's?

Wow, that's the EXACT color of my old '65 Inca Silver Strat. That would be it!

I, too like the "gold" better. It looks more like a platinum to me, but a great color. Sounds silly, but I prefer guitars in earth tones. The blue looks too icy, cold, or metallic. Sorry it's my art classes speaking!

I like the gold better. The silver is too much Aristides for me:
