I have loved this color of stratocaster for so long and I have been trying to find it for a while now.

I thought it was olympic white, but the olympic white doesn't really have that faint shade of yellow in it, at least the ones I see at stores.

Its what a nitro olympic white finish will turn into in 10 years in the sun. What you're after now is "Vintage White". heres an example

I can't find any other strats that come in that colour unfortunately, others on the forum might be able to.

Honey blonde will also fade to yellowish after several years. One of my old '73 Strats got too much 'sun': :wink:

The new limited edition American Standard Strat and the Roadhouse strat, both in vintage white look close.

I don't see much different between vintage white and honey blonde.

To my eyes... the Honey Blonde finish looks like an older Olympic White finish... Perhaps that was the idea... who knows...

This guitar oozes the YJM vibe! :P

Looks like "Duck" before the fretboard scalloping.

I'd say vintage white, cause mine is white blonde which you can see the wood grain thru it. My guitar is a 1999 american fat strat, even it's getting a creamy glow about it.
