Surf Green, Candy Apple Red, Lake Placid Blue… We all have our favourite Fender finishes, but the legendary American guitar co has just let slip its biggest-selling colours of recent years.
The news was delivered via an email mailout, but we thought it best to let you in on the info to stir up a little debate.
So, without further ado, the most popular finishes are…
1. Sunburst

2. White-on-white

3. All-black

There you have it. At first glance, this makes us appear a very conservative bunch - we don't even want different-coloured scratchplates on our white and black models.
But, of course, this could be a self-fulfilling prophecy: is it simply the case that Fender makes more of these guitars than any others, and therefore sell more?
Or do we consciously avoid 'statement' finishes to stick with tried-and-tested, all-purpose looks? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
