Hi, this is my dad's 2001 (Z1) American Series Strat. Bought new in the UK, he wants to know what the official name of the colour is?

The photo is (was) a fairly accurate representation of the colour, but it has now faded and turned darker with a slight green tint to it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ian.

Sonic Blue would be my guess.

Looks like Sonic Blue to me too. Maybe even Daphne Blue?

Contact Fender with the serial number of the Strat, and they may have a definitive answer.

Very nice looking either way.

Sonic Blue was also what immediately popped into my head. Beautiful guitar!

I have a Daphne Blue Strat and a Surf Green. Depending on the light they can look the same or one can be distinctly 'blue' and the other distinctly 'green'

It looks like Sonic blue in your photo but to make sure best to take another photo in a different light.
