Mine is doing this when the Russian handwound pickups arrive. The black guard was just a bit too Gilmourish. What's this though, Billy Croggan? With Strats you really can't win.

My friend Chris has a black 1961 Strat like this. It looks pretty bad-ass.

I thought this was about black vs sunburst, if it's about all colors the best color for a Strat is clearly

Thanks for hiding it, too much Antigua in one pic makes me cringe…

All black Strats with Maple neck (tinted, not pale) and 70s headstock is the best way to go.
Aaaaaand white-Strats with Maple neck and 70s headstock are fine as well.

70s headstock works for me, better than the pre-CBS 'small' headstock.

Just my 2 cents.
