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?

Well, uh, it would help if we could SEE it. Pictures????

Yes, pics would help for sure!

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

If it doesn't display, the url will go to the photo on photobucket.

i always use Imageshack.

No need to regster.

Media upload. Upload from 'My documents' (My Pictures or whatever)

Then copy the url for 'forum' and paste on this site below your posting.

I can do this in 30 seconds.

(no need to use image loading procedure of this site)

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

Pickguard is not stock.

All Olympic Pearl Strats came with a tort guard.

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!

On 2006 Frontline catalog the 3 "white" colors are ; Pearl White, Olympic White, Vintage white and Artic white

4 white colours, not 3

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