see how many different Shades of Blue were out there.

Heres my Blues Brothers!

Here's a 1964 Lake Placid Blue.

AllroyPA · July 17th, 2009, 06:29 AM

I'm liking the Lake Placid blue more and more as see them ... ; )

BadBrad · July 17th, 2009, 06:36 AM

I used to have a blue strat, but I gave it to my younger brother. It was a late-80's MIJ Squier. I changed the pups to give it a better tone, but I had a hard time keeping it in tune so I gave it to him. Recently, I was wishing I had it back since I think it could be a good guitar with a good setup and maybe a replacement tremolo. I didn't think he played guitar these days, so I asked if he still had it. He said he still had it and plays it regularly. He has bought and sold other guitars, but has always kept that Squier strat. He offered to give it back to me, but since he plays it I told him to hang onto it.

I applaud you "Notso BadBrad" you're a stand-up guy ...

Sounds to me like you're a Great Brother!

Teleblooz · July 17th, 2009, 06:19 PM

OK, I'll bite. This one started out life as a 1-pickup Bullet.

Had some time on my hands recently and decided to give her a makeover.

johnner72 · July 17th, 2009, 06:35 PM

A few blues

T-Bodz Terry B. · July 18th, 2009, 12:29 AM

Very nice!

Strat-Man-Do · July 18th, 2009, 05:02 AM

Did you say BLUE.........

Strat-Man-Do · July 18th, 2009, 05:10 AM

I'm actually thinking about going all the way nuts and building a Aerodyne in Flame Maple Blue. I want to use a set of Tapped Suer-Rock II USA Schecter pups in it. And see if I come across a Variax unit [just the unit] and a Fernandez sustainer. The add a 6DB Strat input jack boost that GFS is selling. Basically a mini toggle on the Football jack.

Sounds like a project hey? The Fender EC mid-boost is 25db, but I honestly never go past 2or3 on the dial. So I'm thinking the 6bd will work fine.

AllroyPA · July 18th, 2009, 05:29 AM

@ Johnner72
I like this; what's the color ?

T-Bodz Terry B. · July 18th, 2009, 08:50 AM

Wow! Some very nice Blue Axes out there.... Keep it up guys!

Strat man,
I love my Maple top Aerodyne @ Top! Sounds like a good project!

AllroyPA,
I'm not sure of the Color name. Definately one of the experts here
will be able to advise....

Take care!

Hi Allroy!

That Strat is my Classic Player '60's in Pale Sonic Blue. It's one of my favourite shades.

AllroyPA · July 18th, 2009, 12:56 PM

Can you post a pic in full light also ? Nevermind, I found it on your profile ...

Hi Allroy

That pic you found is a pic of my '98 Malmsteen Sig. It's finished in a darker shade of Sonic Blue. I'll post you a better pic of my '60's Classic Player tomorrow

AllroyPA · July 18th, 2009, 08:24 PM

I'm so sorry ~! The guard and knobs are similar, that threw me ~! Please forgive me.

MIM alder body, refinished with krylon peekaboo blue, clear coated with nitro.

Terry you ever get tired of that Blue Flame Aerodyne I'd be the fellow to contact!

Thanks Strat Man,

It's actually one of my favorite guitars. It sounds really Phat and is one of the most comfortable
Strats I've played. You should look in to one, not extremely pricey either.

No problem! Here's some side by side pics for comparison

johnner72 · July 19th, 2009, 11:25 AM

I forgot I had this one. It's a Partscaster that my friend built back in the early '90's. Nice little guitar too

AllroyPA · July 19th, 2009, 01:49 PM

@Johnner72

Awesome, thanks ! I did'nt realize I was even missing something not having a blue guitar until I see these, and this thread for that matter. I tip , my cap to ya ~

T-Bodz Terry B. · July 19th, 2009, 10:11 PM

Great job Guys!

I think the Blue Strats have been very well represented on this thread!
Just about every Major Blue Fender Strat Color checked in : )

caliban335 · July 22nd, 2009, 12:27 PM

Here's a 2002 American Strat, but I don't know what shade of blue this is.

AllroyPA · July 22nd, 2009, 12:33 PM

I think it's called "kick-azz strat blue!"

bowtiefanatc · July 22nd, 2009, 01:08 PM

Here are my two blues, love them both as they are both quite different. I love the black one too, but this is a blue thread ;)

AllroyPA · July 23rd, 2009, 05:05 AM

This one's really nice looking (@right), I see there's a pick tucked away at the top, must be a great player too !

bowtiefanatc · July 23rd, 2009, 10:49 AM

It sure is. I love and play all of my strats, each one has it's own distinct difference. I've been playing the American strat with the maple board most. It plays pretty awesome for an 18 year old guitar.

The black one is a 2007 Highway One, and the light blue is a 2006 60s Classic Players Strat. I got the CP & the MIA from a local pawnshop actually, and got great deals on both of them :D

T-Bodz Terry B. · July 23rd, 2009, 10:50 AM

Some Great looking Blue Strats here.... Good job everybody!
I think we got all of the Blue's covered...

Christian2009 · July 23rd, 2009, 11:59 AM

I have a 2006 Anniversary Highway One in Daphne Blue.

I believe Fender discontinued that color and finish...so I cherish that thing...new as it is.

Flapjack · July 23rd, 2009, 12:16 PM

2006 Classic Player '60s Stratocaster - pale sonic blue. Don't know how to upload picture and don't care enough to figure it out. Sorry.

Strat-Man-Do · July 23rd, 2009, 05:34 PM

I LOVE the Transparent BLUE MIM Deluxe Finish. I could dig dropping the Shell PG Fender use's on it and going with an aged Pearloid. I'm surprized nobody has one on the forum. Killer finish on these Strats!

bowtiefanatc · July 23rd, 2009, 06:00 PM

I couldn't agree more!

I'd ditch the pickguard as well for a differnet one. I love the combo of the transparent blue with the maple neck. I just have a strong dislike for gold hardware. I think I might be able to get over it though ;)
