I'm really craving one of the new Blueberry Burst Les Paul Standards, but part of me also would love a traditional sunburst one.

I have a no more guitars in 2017 rule at the minute, so I'm saving for one

Mate, it's killing me that I can't bring myself to buy another Les Paul knowing that my 2013 one has issues that bother me. That Blueberry Burst 2017 model is stunning!

Not keen on see thru colours but love solid blues.

My Cerulean blue '60's Strat...

I love that colour, is it slightly metallic? Was this one of the FSR ones where they had the yellow one too? I remember thinking these were the best colours fender have released in a long time.

Gibson did blue burst les pauls a while ago that were stunning.

But why is the headstock logo red, and the binding yellow? And gold hardware?

It is, has the feel of a one-year only model as well.

Stop it, I'm "this" close!!!! Haha

I've had this for... many years.

I call it "Lake Granada Blue" - as in Ford Granada metallic blue that almost, if you squint, and are colour-blind, in a dark room looks a bit like Lake Placid Blue. A mate called it Lake Flacid Blue, but he's a bit of a git.

TBH, I have no idea what colour it is other than 'blue'. I bought the body secondhand on ebay, and it started off as a sunburst Tokai strat. Its been bright flouresent yellow at some point - plus it had a Floyd Rose, from the post holes and the impact damage on the front from the underside of the fine tuners.

Its one of the most resonant Strat bodies I've ever encountered - and its no wonder its been through the mill a bit. It has an easy life these days.

Oh and the GK3 is no longer on this one... its an old photo

Sesh

if you insist...

I know I'm currently trying to sell this, but rest assured it's nothing to do with the colour, which I really like...



Rather fittingly, I'm selling to try and raise funds for a 6-string Ric...and my ideal would probably be a Midnight Blue 360 (a la the @Sporky post back on page 1)

Best guitar I never bought was also blue.  It was a dark transparent blue G&L ASAT with black hardware that I played in an old Academy Of Sound branch back in the mid '90s.  It was gone when I went back the next week.

No, not at all metallic, and yes it was one of the FSR colours.

I agree those six  FSR colours were all lovely, I could have bought them all!

My rather a long story blue guitar ...

I like blue. My American Standard (chrome blue IIRC) -

Then I wanted something LP-esque, and did start out with the intention of getting something non-blue, but quilted tops just look so nice in blue.

That's my dream strat, right there!!! Amazing. Is that the official colour name, mate?
