Candy Green is no longer available as an option, though I believe Eric will finally agree this colour being replaced by Tobacco Sunburst, which compliments Black to perfection.

Nice hue.

Looks luxurious through the beautiful grain of a solid ash body.

It's a shame Fender stopped making Strats in that finish.

Not sure if your guitar has the Clapton/Elite active circuit already installed.

This is a special order as Fender no longer makes the Clapton Strat in this colour.

It's an American Deluxe. Early '00s they came in Teal Green Transparent, which is just a gorgeous colour. 8)

It's the Vintage Noiseless pickups. No added extras. I had an '01 Deluxe HSS and it came with the pickups, a 5-way switch and weird 1meg pots to deal with the Noiseless pickups.

I have seen a number of Strats online for sale in Sherwood Green, but they don't always look the same, ranging from dark green to blue. Did this colour ever fade to something lighter, or is it just people's cameras not recording accurately?
