If you're asking if it's common for the gold paint in the knobs' words & numbers to gradually turn green with age, yes, it is. It doesn't always happen, and sometimes it's just gunk that's built up inside the impressions, but gold paint does sometimes oxidize green.

Your 2003 MIM Classic is old enough to have natural aging like that.

My 2006 60's classic player did the same thing...guess you'd call it patina!

My '98 Classic 50's Strat suffers from similar symptoms......

Some call it "mojo".

Merçi of your answers!

"The varnish of the body in cellulosic cracked, buttons vintage, have the croierait of l 'époque!"

Mexican Classics have polyester body finishes, not nitrocellulose.

You had another thread where you were asking about the color of your guitar. If it's really Ivory instead of Olympic White and if it's got cracking/checking of the finish, it's probably been refinished.

It is a mystery for me this color and the celulosique by top.
I am the 3rd owner.

Same thing happened with my '01 Clapton Strat.

Good morning,
After the test in l 'acétone, varnish is nitrocelulosique, he should not it on this serie!
Must I conclude from it that the body would come d 'une other serie?
D 'aprés bar codes on the body, definitely Fender.

Excuse my English, I use an online translator

Wonder if rather than a classic 50's, it may be a road worn 50's?

does not understand that you said

The "Road Worn" Series is based on the Classic Series. The Road Worns feature "artificially aged" "relic" finishes, nitro on the bodies and poly on the necks, but most of the other specs are the same as the Classic Series.

If I recall correctly, in the other thread you said it's a 2003 guitar. I don't think they had started making the Road Worn Series back then.

If it's nitro, either the Classic body has been refinished or the body has been replaced. (Or a Classic neck has been put on a different Strat.)

Refinishes aren't that hard to do, and the Classic bodies are excellent quality 2~3 piece alder bodies. Quite a few people have refinished them in nitro to get something pretty close to an American Vintage Reissue for something like half the price.

The body would not correspond, nevertheless the holes of the pickguard are of origin and there are no others.
This guitar remains a mystery!

If it's a Classic Player and not a Classic Series it will have a nitro finish.
