Hey, that looks pretty ace.

Niceeeee- congrats!
But it looks kinda deep for sonic blue, doesn't it? If you asked me, i would say it was daphne.
And daphne looks great with tortoise IMO
what is the origin of this guitar?

i bought it new last year.
in fact she stayed 2 years in the shop before i came.
the funny thing is the headstock (surf green!) (was near a neon tube)

the said "sonic blue" is really blue, but a friend's jagstang is the same sonic blue.
anyway, i tried the new "Classic Player ‘60s Stratocaster®" and the sonic blue is totally different. ???

so....
it's an AVRI? CIJ?
i am not surprised the blue is different on a Mexican Fender. these different hues of blue are pretty obvious.
but i have to tell you- it looks REAL good. you got a looker there :)

A little off the topic...but does anyone have a picture of an Ice Blue Metallic Offset with a Red tortise guard. I might want to try that.

I think all these metallic colours are hard to photograph...I think it's IBM, personally.

OTM has more green to it.

Weird .. I'd expect OTM to be much more green and IBM to be much lighter ..

Yeah that's ocean turquoise for sure, that color photographs so different. It seems to change a lot with the lighting.

Here's an Ice Blue Metallic! NICE

yeah, OTM changes a lot with the lighting - the photo on the fender site is WAY off though, it's practically LPB...

On an off-topic note, what kind of amp is that on the left with the channels jumpered? Bassman 10?
Also, I haven't really experimented with jumpers between channels. What kind of effects are produced with that?
