Members grumphh Posted September 16, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2011 Happy New Government!!!!!!!! Thank you - now lets hope they don't pull an Obama. Our situation is much better than the US's though, so they might have a chance And it is going to be complicated with both a centre party and communists, that the social-democrats (=labour) and the socialists (who combined will make up the actual government) have to rely on for support... Anyway - enough with the politics. Here is a daylight shot (with some direct sunlight as well) - now what is the colour??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grumphh Posted September 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2011 So, i mailed Fender and got this answer back - i guess that this is not decisive, but at least shows that Agave Blue was an option then. Side note : Interesting that it is an Alder body - i thought they used poplar up into the late 90's.Here are the specs on your guitar built in October 1994.Model Name: Standard Stratocaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HanSolo Posted September 21, 2011 Members Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's Agave Blue. I had one and it always photographed slightly darker than it looked in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grumphh Posted September 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's Agave Blue. I had one and it always photographed slightly darker than it looked in real life. Good to hear - for some reason it just doesn't have the deeper blue of the LPB, but that was hard capturing digitally - despite my messing around with different lighting when taking pics and the white balance in RAW processing mode, the colour just seems to elude the sensor in the camera. Here is the colour (same guitar ) under different lighting conditions: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members caveman Posted September 21, 2011 Members Share Posted September 21, 2011 It could be Ocean Turquoise: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grumphh Posted September 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2011 It could be Ocean Turquoise: Yeah - it could be that too. Maybe. However, even though i can get mine to look a bit like yours on pics, irl it has a sort of slight greyish tinge that i think the ocean turquoise doesn't have. I have also looked at ice blue metallic and the likes... Basically i have discovered that Fender has a lot of blue colours, and that many of them are difficult to photograph accurately. What we really need is a picture where all the different blues are lined up next to each other and photographed under the same conditions and lighting. ...give me 20 more years and i might be able to do that pic - i have just found out how cool i think blue guitars look.

Members Deadbeat Son Posted September 21, 2011 Members Share Posted September 21, 2011 Agave Blue was only made for a couple of years; the same yrs as sage green. I think I recall your strat being an earlier 1990s model, which would eliminate the AB option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erhemmm... did you read the post where i showed the email i got from Fender in which there is a list of the possible colours on that guitar? - Agave Blue was an option in '94 (which is the actual year of production - despite me thinking that it was a '93 due to the serial no.)

Members grumphh Posted September 21, 2011 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2011 My '08 MIM in LPB for comparison. Very nice colour and combination of colours And yes, as my pics above show, in full sunlight mine is quite a bit lighter/less saturated than yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
