Hi! I'm researching about a HRR (hot rod reissue) strat from the 90s, which is in the color sonic blue.
Rumours says that the strat is unique, and rare just because of the color.
However that is all hearsay, and from some old forum posts, where people shows particular interest.

The serial number gives the following information.
Quote:
Your guitar was made at the
Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan
in 1991 - 1992
Production Number: 34901

The strat in question is floyd rose equipped with a dimarzio humbucker.
It got a maple neck, with a rosewood fretboard, and a strip at the back of the neck that I think is walnut.

Thankful for any information you got on this one, whether it is confirming or denying the beliefs, or value suggestions, etc.
Have a good one ya'll!

Sonic Blue was one color option at that time, model number would be 125-1000-572 (the last three numbers: 5 = 'less case', 72 = Sonic Blue) in the US.
Probably not the most sold color, so it's not common, but not unique either.

The value depends on the usual condition etc. features, and one big factor is where it's sold/bought. For the SBL, maybe a cosmetic five per cent more than other colors.

On that one pic only, it looks legit - even the yellowed single coils vs. white DiMarzio is the way pickup plastics age.

Member Blertles had a pic on another topic, let's see if photobucket still allows it here:

Thanks for your answer! It's as I suspected!
Now we can finally settle the family argument :lol:

If the family argument was about the color, it won't go away - it just turns to arguing about the degree of rarity... :wink:
