eric clapton strat comes in midnight blue:


and mercedes blue:

again, you might have these but they're good pictures.

Tungsten and Sunset Metallic are current colours so I have stock images but it's nice to see them in a more 'real' image.

That's a cool pic of Mercedes Blue because the only other one I've seen is a stock image that just looks black. It's the clapton strat still but I think a misnamed image and the pic I had is just black.
That midnight blue looks like a burst. Midnight Wine Burst is a separate colour to Midnight Wine so I wouldn't be surprised. Did it have a number with it?

I need to look into the FSR colours a bit more. Here's Sunfire Orange Flake

Another shot of the Clapton midnight blue strat:


it seems darker than the usual midnight blue finish:

That jazz bass is the one I want a stock image of.

more cool colours

FUCK. WANT!!

My friend has a Candy Cola Telecaster like this, dunno if anyone has posted this colour yet.

I think that is Red Pearl Burst. Odd bass for a Fender.

Whilst looking at the 'Prophecy II' bass, in saphire transparent:



I found a site with some odd fender basses, and some are in odd colours...unfortunately not all the models are named, nevermind colour names.

That's 'Blackstone'. I think it's only from the HM series, also came in bluestone and redstone.

The HM Strat. These have some funky colours... again, need to look up names but might as well save some photos. Some do have names with them...

Root Beer Metallic:

7UP Green:


clapton signature strat.

I love Mocha Brown:

Where did you see it called 7UP Green? It's pretty similar to a couple of other green colours the Clapton strat has come in. It's obviously brighter in the first image but it looks like the whole picture is and not just the green.

71 - Candy Green


45 (or 545) -Candy Apple Green

In this interview with clapton: http://whereseric.com/eric-clapton-faq/ ... ratocaster
he says "The colours I asked for were Ferrari Red, 7-Up Green and charcoal gray.� That was in 1988. Black introduced in 1991.

Also in 'EC (eric clapton?) Grey':

That looks like Pewter to me, which is a common colour for the Clapton Strat.



My guess is he requested those colours and Fender gave him Candy Green (or similar), Pewter and one of their standard red colours (I'm not sure which it came in but I've definitely seen stock images of a Clapton strat in a typical Fender red).

IIRC it was 'Torino Red'.
