My friends store just got this a cool strat on consignment. It is a an american strat made in 2001. I asked what the color was but they didn't know. It's a pale blue but not Daphne Blue or Sonic Blue. It has a little green tinge but it's not Surf green,so I just went on the web and found the exact same guitar on GBASE: a 2001 American Strat in "Sky Blue"

Isn't she lovely?

Awesome color. Is it an american standard? I never cared for the pickups in those...

My friend had a Jazz Bass in that color. It's pretty, kind of a shame it didn't stick, it's like a softer sonic blue.

Yes,this is an "American" the successor to the old "American Standard",the pickups are a little different . I never saw another Fender in this color,what year was your friend's bass made Nick ?

I would be considerably worried if the sky was that color.
