As per subject line, here's a pic of one of my partscasters.

I believe it's a Deluxe US Strat body but I've got no idea what the name of this metallic blue finish is. It's a few shades lighter than my gun metal blue metallic Strat but I can't find any exact match on the Fender colour charts.

EDIT: better pic

You're ruling out Fiesta Red then?

Hi GilgaFrank nice build!

Beats me what catalog color name that is,
way cool to have this tone.
It´s a Caspian Ocean Blue Strat!
No wait! It´s Gilga Blue! 8)

Well I was thinking Gun Metal Blue. Maybe your other guitar has had the topcoat yellow a bit, which would make it appear darker.

I'll try and get a shot of the gunmetal blue Strat alongside this one, it's clearly a different darker shade of blue. There's 20 years between the two guitars so it's possible one's discoloured but they're both poly finishes and those don't change very much over time.

Thing with metallic blue Strats, it's really difficult to get an accurate photo of the finish as they look very different in different lighting. Makes them look brilliant under stage lights though, top tip for the fashion concious guitar player right there.

Aqua Marine is a nice colour! didnt expect it to be that. Im guessing this is an early 00's Deluxe?

Beautiful Strats, Frank.

Here is a handy reference for Fender colors. http://fendercolorchart.webatu.com/

Fender can call it what it wants. It is not aquamarine. I do like the color. More like teal to me.

Here are a few aquamarines:
