It smells like fresh paint.

It looks just like Xhefri's firestorm strat restoration.

It came from tenstarguitars

It still smells like fresh paint.

It came from tenstarguitars.

Here again is a photo of a fake firestorm strat body between two real strats in the firestorm finish.

Awesome congrats on a needle in a haystack Xhefri! If anyone deserved to get this body it is you -The Guru of the Plus -Ultra series lol. I know you must be on a heavy high as when it comes to these guitars you have practically seen them all and now this. Not very cool of Fender to not have the courtesy to respond to your inquiries especially when they know where to go when they want to know something! That is are the corporate suits side of the company, as if you had posed that to Mike Eldred and the CS guys they would of answered you right back but they have nothing to do with that side of the company. Again I would be on cloud nine which I am sure you are, My Blueburst Strat Ultra is my best looking Fender and that totally smokes it!

Really a sweet guitar you have! Love the blue over the Maple caps on it. Thanks for sharing!

BTW, I heard back from Rod Schwarz at Fender and he related this too me about the Icestorm Plus': "I searched through all of my database files as well as some old memos, I have around and price-lists that I keep in a binder and did not find any evidence of that color. Firestorm Red is indeed in several price-lists especially 1991-1992 but no blue to go along with it. Personally, I remember the Firestorm Red...do not remember the same in blue. So...no records of that color...no pictures that I can find.

"What I CAN say is that according to my records as well as the records we keep on hand (which are pretty extensive---but not totally infallible), that color does not "officially" exist, nor did we ever officially sell it to the best of my knowledge... That blue is growing on me...sweet. It being a proto-type sounds like a likely version to me. Just like Leo Fender did with Bill Carson, the "try this" tradition lives on..."

I think that icestorm is fake.

It looks just like the fake firestorm body.

There used to be a picture of a real firestorm strat on xhefri's site. Now there is a picture of the obvious fake.

Dude are you insane?

That's what I was thinking. How many posts - in how many threads - are you going to post this? So you got burned and now you want to call Xhefri out? And you just happen to have two legit firestorm finished Strats to compare your fake to? Really?

here is a link to a new thread with a bunch of photos of several fender guitars in the firestorm finish.

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!

Fake or not, I've got to give credit where it is due. Xhefri sure knows how to put those guitars back together real nicely.
