I have seen the colour before ages ago. I cant remember what its called though. It may be some cheesy name like electron blue or something.

Chrome Blueis a shade darker than that and Fender does not post their discontinued colors on the color chart any more. I'm hoping someone more O/C than me will find their early 90s Frontline magazine and see if they can find the color. :wink: :lol:

I guess I should rephrase the question...Is this a refinish and not a factory color from Fender? Can anyone show me if it is a factory original color?

I know its not chrome blue, (cheesy) :wink: electron blue, maui blue (early 80's international color), or any other blue on the current Fender color chart or the previous one. Like Niki said earlier I swear I've seen this color before but I can't document it and its driving me :evil: mad...

That definitely looks like Chrome Blue, with a lot of lighting put on it. Indigo Blue was a darker color. Chrome Blue was indeed a factory color, and I'm about 99% sure that's what it is.

I had a tele the same color before it became the camocaster! No idea what the actual color name was.

This is what it looked like after:

The bridge plate was replaced with matte black before final assembley.
