hello, i have a CS60s strat...

my first question is about the colour:
Image

the colour resembles to surf green even though the seller said it is daphne blue. but there are some traces of the original colour in the neck pocket, as seen in the photo. was this the original colour? the guitar is 8-9 years old...is it possible the actual colour is the result of fading/aging of the original colour? i mean is this daphne blue?

the second question is about the neck...
Image

what is it with the 61 strat stamp? is this usual for a CS 60 strat? or is this another model?
the COA says it is a CS60.
does anybody know who's signature is that? it seems to be "Raul"

yes, your Guitar was Daphne Blue when it left the CS. I once had a 60s Closet Classic CS Strat, and i had similar fading on that one after 2 or 3 years.

No idea whats about the 61 neck stamp.

That '61 stamp is correct- it is on my '60 as well. I think this is because the neck for this model was taken from an actual '61 strat, but is used on quite a few models (and I think is one of the most popular requests they get).

Daphne Blue is a great color. That is the color I have on my 60's NOS team built Strat I bought a few years ago from www.makenmusic.com
The guitar had to be ordered for me, since I didn't want a relic in that model. I love the guitar and color! :D
