People seem to like that look. I had the same happen to my white Les Paul once I started leaving it out of the case when I wasn't using it.

rmp is correct. If you're leaving the guitar out of it's case, especially near bright sunlight, she will begin to yellow. Also, if you're gigging in a smoke filled club, you'll want to clean her up regularly with a good polish. Try that now clean and polish to see if you can get your color to brighten up a bit.

Evert white guitar will yellow. My 63 Supro is made of Resoglass (fiberglass) and the color is molded in and it has yellowed. Looks cool though.

And if it used to be 'Polar White' when people ask you what colour it is, now you can say it's "Yellow Snow!!!" I might go buy one just for that reason alone!! :wink:

I have a 2000 "vintage white" Strat. which, for the most part, is "yellow".

If it starts turning polar white, we may have hit on some sort of supernatural effect associated with these guitars.

All white guitars do that. I think guitars with nitrocellulose finish last longer.
