I like my blizzard pearl Strat. One of my 3 favorite finishes along with honey blonde and butterscotch blond.

My Strat is chrome silver which looks to be the same. If I'd had a choice (lefty version) that color would not be high on my list but it beats the heck out of plain old black and a lot of other colors. I may repaint it next year.

Blizzard Pearl is my new favorite color. I like the BP with maple combination, also. I like pearloid pickguards. Do you think a white pearloid p/g would be too much sparkle?

I have an 08 BP Jazz USA. I like the color. In pictures (gig) it really pics up light and shines real nice- like when the stage is dark the finish will trap what little light there is and it just stands out--Nice! You can't see me in the pic but you see the body of the bass clearly.

Hey- I'll trade you my rosewood neck for that maple one.

I have 45-105 Rotosound stainless on it right now. I've always used Rotosound strings.

I traded a Musicman Stingray even up for it. I saw a pic on craigslist. The guy didn't like Fenders ( ???????) . He bought it new and never played it more than a little bit. It still had the plastic on the p guard for 3 years. I was worried it may have left a mark. I've seen that before when the plastic was left on the guard for a long period of time.- the bass is mint condition. And it has the big fat flightcase which is excellent.

I tend to like maple necks/fretboard. I saw that pic in the post and it got me thinking how I'd like to go maple on it.

The paint job on mine is flawless.

The problem I had making the decision to go with the B.P., was seeing a Fender guitar or bass in the finish. I finally saw a new Strat at a local store in B.P. I really like how it almost changes colors in the different lighting.


I have an Inca Silver Powerhouse Strat that changes from silver to pewter to a strange greenish color depending on the lighting. Would love to get a Fender in B.P. I guess I'm over Sienna Sunburst.

I love the Blizzard Pearl finish on my American Standard Tele!

It would be great to a get a matching Strat in this color someday, though my current budget won't allow it. Maybe someday...

I held up a shell white pickguard to the BP Jazz of mine and it looks great- problem was the shell guard I have has different holes. I'm debating more holes in my bass-- but it looks really nice against the BP finish. It's a must.
