Chrome Blue American Series Stratocaster

It turns out the color wasn't exactly what I had thought.  I have a Chrome Blue Fender Strat and the year is a 2003.  The guitar arrived and was MINT (though 10 years old), along with the case being just as gorgeously preserved.

The guitar is an American Series, the American Standard of the years 2000-2008.  The name has gone back to the Standard designation after that time period, but preserved many of the nice features that came with the American Series.  I love the tone and sustain of this guitar! It rings on after a chord like an acoustic guitar-- no kidding!  The sound and tuning are sweet. I love the maple fretboard.  So many more aspects to describe, but I will let the pictures suffice for now!

Notice this color changes in different light sources, somewhat like an old hot rod used to do in the sixties!
