I've purchased an '07 deluxe strat that is in new, unplayed condition.
I'm trying to determine what color it is. It's definitely pearl, but not olympic. the shade could be describe as either cream or aged white. Does anyone know what Fender called this color in 2007 or now if it still exists?

I'll take a guess though - - shoreline gold?

Thanks for your replies.
I'm not sure how to upload or attach an image here.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Just copy the "IMG" code (fourth one down in the list) from the PhotBucket site, you almost had it. :)

Even with the photo it is hard to tell. If it is see thru and the neck is v with a tint it could be honey blonde but if it is then the guard has been changed.
One way to tell is the body should carry a bar code generally in the front pickup cavity.
I think (and i'm more than happy to be corrected!) the last two digits on the code are the color e.g. xxxxxxxx-x67 would be honey blonde. In short find the number and then reference this back to the fender charts or service diagrams. Hope this helps! :D

You are correct, this is not the stock pickguard. the pickguard color is parchment.
Thanks everyone for your help on this.
