Members Jkater Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 Here's one that is WRONG. It looks blue on this pic but in real life, it's purple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grumphh Posted September 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 You know, I am not sure. It's kinda lake placid but not really. The body is from a 2001 deluxe powerhouse strat and fender does claim it to be lake placed blue but it is not typical of that colour code. It's a tiny bit lighter and has a hue of aqua I suppose. See, this is why we need this thread I mean, at one point someone will post a pic of that particularly exclusive custom colour that you have - and if it is faithful to the colour you will be able to know the fancy name of your guitars colour too. ...or it is LPB and the paint mixer just had a bad day?

Members cratz2 Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 OP, I'm pretty sure as long as YOUR pics are color-accurate, yours is Agave, not Lake Placid. If you know the difference, they are very easily discernible. On the other hand, there are countless folks that own a Surf Green strat that think they have a Daphne Blue strat.

If you know the difference, they are very easily discernible. Oh, by now i am 99% positive that mine is agave - but the key words are "if you know the difference" I don't hang out in guitar stores so have no idea what other fender blues look like - except for looking at the net. And with the pics being of as varying a quality as they are it really is hard to get a feel for which of the medium blues you actually own... And that Ice blue metallic is one cool colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RaVenCAD Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 That was your second CT4 after the first was too dark, right?you made the right choice, absolutely beautiful! Nope... Timeline went like this: Lusted over the CT > Ordered a DC400 (the quilted one above) > kept lusting over the CT > Got the DC, saw it was black, sent it back > Ordered the CT> missed the DC, so I ordered a white DC127 > got the CT, wished I'd also ordered a white CT hehehe > got the DC, realized I don't have enough walls for the number of Carvins I want to own.. Eventually, the CT won the fight for #1. I've never played a guitar I feel more at home with. I love my Parker, but there is something primal about my CT.

Members RaVenCAD Posted September 22, 2011 Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 That is stunning. Thanks, but as pretty as the CT is, the feel of it dwarfs the visuals. I do love the blue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tvvoodoo Posted September 23, 2011 Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 Only one blue for me, don't know what kind of blue it is, I believe it was craft paint, semi transpareent with pearlescence. Wasn't my paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted September 23, 2011 Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 Doesn't it get redundant after a while? One might think so, but come on... I mean, some of the Jazzers have white knobs and some have black knobs. Some of them even have CHROME knobs, so it's not like they are all the same. Or even similar for that matter!
