Jazzmaster Am Pro II - 'Mystic Surf Green' vs 'Sea Foam Green'

[eyemack]

I have a 'Mystic Surf Green' Am Pro II JM, and I occasionally see YT videos with that colour being called 'Sea Foam Green'. Example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCt_ZrtQ9AI&t=1391s (although he calls it Sea Chrome Green, as a joke, I guess)
Are these colours the same, or is the Sea Foam Green description just a mistake, as I can't see the Am Pro II availabe in that colour?

(Editied to remove confusion over name!)

Yeah, that’s just that YouTuber and his commenters calling it that.
That 60Cycle guy is a bit of a turd anyhow.

Thought so!
Thanks a lot.

That's a wonderful description of the guy

He's a grade A...

I’m actually getting this color applied to a jaguar at MJT. Probably just a silvery ice green metallic on their part, or Firemist silver.

Well I wouldn't go that far but he's definitely a bit of a try-hard, and does that YouTuber thing where they try and bolster viewing numbers with giveaways that require you to unsubscribe from bogus junk email chains if you do, so I think he's more in it for the monetisation than making quality content (his videos are often twice as long as they need to be - if you need to tune the guitar just cut that out of the final edit, it's not difficult).

Anyway, back to the original thread thing. Fender is a company that calls metallic green Cosmic Jade so I suppose in some respects anything goes...

[eyemack]

I think my original point was that I didn't think the Am Pro II was/is available in 'Sea Chrome Green', just 'Mystic Surf Green'.
I assume he has just made a mistake in the colour name in that vid.

Ryan is a forum member, but I've not seen him post recently.

I think it's actually a 'joke': sea foam/sea chrome. He does his own thing.

[eyemack]

Yep, I presumed the ‘Sea Chrome/Sea Foam’ thing was a joke, but still there is no Sea Foam for the Am Pro II, the one he is demoing is definitely’Mystic Surf Green’.

To add yet more confusion there’s a ‘Mystic Seafoam Green’ as well. A spanglier version of SFG I think.



Mystic Surf (L) vs Mystic Sea Foam (R)

I saw someone describe Mystic Surf Green as IGM (Ice Green Metallic) which made it sound more awesome.

[eyemack]

There is only 'Mystic Surf Green' available on the AM Pro II though and the guy on the YT vid just got the colour wrong, I think, even though he meant 'Sea Foam Green'.

This side-by-side is super useful, but I don't like either of those colours. Maybe it's the light, but then again maybe not as the white balance doesn't look far off.

[eyemack]

The photo looks wrong. Mystic Surf Green is a beautiful fluorescent colour and doesn't look anything like the photo above. Must be something wrong with the lighting, I think. Mind you, it does change a lot in different lights.
Look on the Fender site to see a good representation of it.

Yeah as above the Mystic Surf looks off in those pics. There are a couple of other angles here but I still don’t think they captured it quite right.

Still, useful to see the differences.
