Seems a shame to re-finish that - white is such a cool colour for a Strat. I love my gold Strat, but I love my white Goldstar nearly as much.
If you must do it, I would recommend Aztec. I think that's what mine is anyway. Anything but Tokai's Gold Metallic!
Sorry about the crap pics. |

already have the BST-64V in VWH so I really don't want two white ones
thinking of going with SG, followed with a tinted clear coat to warm it up/darken it, then with a non tinted/regular clear for the final coats.
The tinted clear over the SG should get me about where I want to be color wise, and over time it should darken a bit. _________________ http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=mij_vintage

I have it's sister, a BST-57V white relic, again with no backplate, it's my main gigging guitar, despite my love for Les Pauls, a Strat suits our music better, and I like a relic as you don't worry too much about the odd ding!
I agree with Mike, it's a shame to refinish a perfectly good Strat, especially a white one, if you find a gold one I'll take that off your hands!  |

Yes the SOB one was interesting it had aged much more than I've seen a guitar of that age do?? Maybe it had had some help with the aging process?
It was a typical Bacchus though, top quality Strat!! |

I have contacted many sellers from digimart & on several occasions, Big Boss included, and I have yet to receive a single reply from Big Boss.
I feel lucky if I get just a fart from any seller on digimart
digimart sellers in general have to be the kings of no reply ................... _________________ http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=mij_vintage

Lovely strat. I think the relic look on that one is just about right - lovely example. Like others have said it's a shame to change it but it's you guitar.
