        I had always been embarrassed by the color. I was a long haired heavy rock playing dude, and that color was not cool.
        It’s lived in the case for decades only coming out for recording. About a year ago I got a new amp and was trying different guitars at rehearsal and my band mates said how much they liked the color. It was weird, here I was keeping it away for decades and now people are telling me it’s cool. Life’s weird. I also bought an Olympic White Stratocaster from the same guy, same day. He sold me both for $700. I played the white one but the blue one stayed home. You can really see the wear and tear on the white one.

          Funny, I love the colour though! Kirk Hammett played one similar in the I Disappear video, but opinions vary on how cool he is.

          When I saved up and got my first guitar when I was like 15 in like 98 all I wanted was a strat in Seafoam green or sonic blue but they didn’t make the one I could afford in either. This color was cool to me always.

    I like the crackling in the paint finish, but that fretboard needs a bit of love. Give it a clean up and some lemon oil

      Don’t use actual lemon oil, it’ll dry the fretboard out. Use linseed oil or something that’s commercially produced for guitar fretboards. Although if you have something labeled “lemon oil”, there’s a good chance it’s just linseed oil with a lemon scent
