I wanna buy a Mexican Strat because I need a guitar to take my old ones place and this will be my first strat. I love american guitars but I need something more in my price range right now and I've been a month and a half without a gutar and I'm craving some jam time. the colors I'm trying to pick between are Lake Placid Blue or Sage Green? I'm on the fence about this and I want my choice to be one I'm happy with also if any of you have these colors let me know what you think :)

PS- I also like midnight wine xD

Hi xFallenx,

LPB!

I have been eying this Classic Vibe 50s in LPB, looks gorgeous.

For a little more, the Standard in LPB is nice.

Not.

LPB is a medium metallic blue.

That looks like Daphne or Sonic Blue.

Lake Placid Blue all the way. Great color and since the MIMs are not old style lacquer it will stay that color for a long time.
