Hi ! (new member from Norway )
Hope for some help to identify the correct color of my Stratocaster ( believe standard ) from 1984 ( neck ) believe the guitar are from 1987.
The color are blue, but more like green in some different lights.
Hope some can help out :-)
Thank you

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Regrettably the only way we can see your images is to download them and I not sure many would be happy to do that.

If you can post them onto a site such as Facebook or the like you can then share the address of the images.

From the thumbnails of the downloads it looks like Lake Placid Blue to me.

It appears to be either Aqua Flake (slightly greenish) or Blue Sparkle (a deeper blue). Because of the shiny bits, I would tend to rule out Lake Placid Blue.

Here is Fender's official color chart:

I'm leaning towards Teal Green Metallic, which would be rare for an eighties guitar, so maybe a partscaster...
BTW, the E4 serials span a long period on the eighties, and BTW2, I only downloaded one pic (too much hassle to try & help), and BTW3, what do the neck heel/pocket stamps & markings say?

Yeah zipped file from a drop box I'm not going there.
As JM mentions it is just possible (but thinking further unlikely) there is a barcode in the pickup cavity with the last 3 numbers identifying the color. Sometimes it is written in the control cavity as well but not common for an eighties std :D
