My strat is a vintage white CIJ 68 reissue (although i would say its 67!, but thats what Fender called it anyway in the Frontline catalogue when i bought it back in 1999). Anyway, i have studied various USA strats in the vintage white colour, all new whether it be the YM signature model or just an American standard, and they all look very yellow in colour or butter like colour!

Mine however, i prefer, its not yellow in colour at all, just a nice cream colour. Its not really an issue, but since i'm can discuss this with all you strat owners it would be interesting to see if anyone has any idea why Fender japan and Fender USA uses the same colour code, but with totally different shades in colour.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the laquer finish they use or something???

By the way, if you also go to Fender Japan website, they actually call some of there strats Yellow white as well as Vintage white. And there yellow whites look identical to USA Vintage whites.

Have i confused anyone yet??? :?

Vintage White is the color of Butter. Many people think that when they are looking at Artic White it is the Vintage because it is not a bright white color. The bright white color is Olympic White the darker white is Artic and the yellowish butter White is Vintage :shock: :shock: :roll:
