Hey - I'm new, and I've got a question that's been bugging me for years that hopefully someone can help me answer.

What colors were offered for Mexican Strats in 1998? I've had one since, well... 1998. I always thought it was more cream colored, but I'm not too sure.

Here's a picture:

(The bad lighting doesn't really do the cream color justice... but I'm sure you get the point)

Also, I'm actually going to be returning it back to it's original state here soon. Still got the very worn out pickguard and everything. I'm kind of heading into a more "natural" phase with my guitars.

Anyway, and help with the color guessing game would be appreciated. Thanks!

The Fender Frontline indicates your guitar is finished in Arctic White #80.

Awesome. Is there a scan of this somewhere that I could check out? Thanks!

Well then, I would definitely assume it's arctic white. Thanks for your help, man!

El gusto es mio.
