Any love for Charcoal Frost Metallic?

I have a Fender American Stratocaster in Charcoal Frost Metallic with rosewood neck. Its not the easiest thing to photograph as the colour does not capture well. To my eyes its like a dark silvery looking shade which sometimes seems to have a bit of a blue tint in certain light.

Given the current range of colours on the American Standards, it seems that the cola red and sienna bursts are proving more popular. Just wondering if anyone else has gone with the Charcoal Frost Metallic option? Wondering if Fender will discontinue the colour when they put them up for change.

I want one just like yours! No time soon though, I've got too many and just bought a CS...

My two favorite American Standard colors are Charcoal Frost Metallic and Blizzard Pearl. 'Metal' colors just look cool on strats.

Love Charcoal Frost Metallic! Don't have one yet, but I do dig the color. Is the Eric Clapton pewter color very similar?

I'd like to save for both of those. I think the Charcoal is a bit darker than the Clapton pewter, but looks just great.

I was almost pulling the trigger on a Charcoal Frost with Rosewood.
Then I found this FSR American Standard, Mercedes Blue, Texas Specials, Locking Tuners, Limited run of 20. Very, very happy with it.

If I had bought the American Standard, I was going to get it in Charcoal Frost with a maple neck. I spent ages online searching for images of this combination that were taken by amatuer photographers rather than the fender released images. I like the fact that it can look a different colour dependant on the light.

Don't own a Strat in that colour, but I think it's a very handsome colour indeed.

Trouble is. then I'd see something I liked even more, and then another after that. You can't win and you certainly can't own one in every colour!

My current lust, is to own a Strat professionally re-finished in (Gibson) Pelham Blue.. or a really nice red one, or Sienna Sunburst, or....

That's is a sweet looking color.

Why can't you?

Why can't you own one in every color

I bought my agave blue Strat and I didn't even like the color right away.
It didn't take long and now I love it.
