There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

I struggle to argue with Conway, Lake Placid Blue or Sonic Blue for me. Shelby Blue is not a "Fender" colour but it always looks cool to me, sort of a brighter Lake Placid Blue.
Tin arse!!

Denche Blue, or the colour formerly known as Daphne Blue.Mini Forklift Ⓥ wrote:I also like the kind of blue that Mick's Strat is from That Pedal Show. Possibly sonic blue? Still remember the first time I saw that colour, when I was 13 or 14 and they reviewed one in an issue of Guitarist. I fantasised about being able to somehow buy that guitar for a long, long time
...
Anyhow, something in that kind of ilk and colour I could fap over rather easily
Its my favourite strat colour too

The white one in the original post is the answer...job done/.
I still have moments of anguish letting that blond Nash Strat slip through my fingers. That was a bad mistake.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Hate red Strats which is unfortunate as my best one is a faded, relic dark red. Sits better with the more brown rosewood mind.
