What Fender color could you not abide on a guitar regardless of vintage? (Antigua is a given). Now since I am painting blonde on the acoustic, that only leaves a few colors I have not tried. I don't mind coral, but no. Thanks.

I know right. the worst colors are sunburst and black, just because they're so played out. but even those are not bad in many cases.

Antigua is clearly the worst Fender finish. By miles.

any kind of transparent color finish (green, blue, etc.) where I can still see the wood grain is ugly as shit. and all that coffee table flame-whateverthefuck crap commonly found on PRS only tends to compound the offense.

Graffiti Yellow is pretty bad.
This is not really related to Fender, I guess; but transparent finishes over exotic woods/flamed maple generally looks horrid as well. I'm sure there is a way to do it if you had to. For me, seeing that stuff triggers very bad memories of late 90s/early 00s bands/studio musicians playing PRS type guitars (usually custom monstrosities) that produced the most boring tones I have ever heard in my life. The type where you can take one look at the guitar and know what sounds are about to come out of it without even actually listening.

Hey, lookee! My gittar!
Also, my '73:
What I find tacky is the Cherry Burst.
Yeah, I know, spot the difference between Sienna Sunburst and Cherry Sunburst. Subtle, but it's there.
Yellow and pink are not for me.
