The sunburst Strat looks like an ash-bodied '67 re-issue.

Beautiful guitars, both of them!

Thanks! I think it's a '68 reissue, but I'm not sure.

The daphne blue is a reissue too I think.

Both are Fender 50th Anniversary models.

Yes -- the Daphne Blue guitar appears to be a '62 re-issue.

The Three colour sunburst is definately a '68 reissue
I have one,but the stratocaster logo was kinked, and i wanted slightly bigger frets, so had the neck refinished and a transitional logo applied , the sustain goes on forever on it
