I voted for the LPB but I'm sure, since it's your first, you'll enjoy either color!!

Hi Xf !

Given those options, I chose LPB also, but I do like honey blondes as well.

Don't leave home without it!

I've never been one for blondes,natural or seafoam. Im more of a olympic white,3 tone burst,aged cherry,tuxedo,medium blue and green up kinda guy. I know that is a lot but they are what I like. I only like vintage white on pickgaurds they make it look classy ;D

Actually that is Dalphne blue. Sonic blue is a bit lighter, but if look at them they are so close. I'm not sure why Fender wants to confuse us like this.

It's hard to tell some Fender colors once the guitar gains some age. The colors change. Dalphne Blue gets darker, Fiesta Red turns almost a wierd pink color and surf green turns really dark.

Also Fender will change the colors a bit. I have an '01 Clapton Strat in Candy Green. It seems like it has a gold hue to hit. You see the this best on the edges of the guitar. The gold gives it a warmer look than the '08 Clapton Strat I saw at my local music store. Apparently Fender used silver instead of the gold. The color is "colder" and not as nice to me.

My vote is for Midnight Wine. That's one of my all time favorite colors for a guitar. But between the blue and green, I'd definitely go with Lake Placid Blue. I don't care for green on guitars.

I have had a Sage Green since 2004.....although I dont play it anymore.....I never get tired of looking at it....but in the end it comes down to what you want...see which one feels right in your hands (that should be first) then decide
