Maybe the last one? This one isn't available any more as I snapped it up this afternoon. It's going to get fresh strings, fretboard oiled and a setup before I pick it up. More pics soon. |

It really is Cyclone week!
Turns out I got mine on June 7th 2010. Independence day must bring out the best guitars.

The Whole combination is perfect. Love the daphne blue. It's a brighter daphne too not like the reissue mustangs.

| Must admit I thought it was Daphne Blue. Did they get made in Sonic Blue as well? I don't mind which it is, it's great as it is. Can't wait to pick it up! |

I really don't know... I can tell you that there seems to be a fair bit of inconsistency in what Fender calls Sonic and Daphne, though.
I haven't seen a single HH that really definitely looks Daphne but on the other hand, I've seen plenty of guitars that I know for a fact are Daphne that look a great deal darker, either due to the colour being ruthlessly difficult to photograph and/or because it has yellowed over time.
Let's compare a picture of another blue MIM HH:
To yours:
Seems pretty damn close to me
Now look at a Cyclone II, which most definitely is Daphne Blue:
But then, again:
ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!! |

that first cyclone II pic looks like sonic blue to me. old sonic blue, not the one they claimed the jagstang was.

| There's so many variables in lighting, situation, camera set up and guitar condition. Fender probably had a subtley different colour of daphne blue every time a new gun full was mixed up. What I do know is that the HH was straight out of the box, hung up in a real alladins cave of a shop with not much natural light, and the pic was just a quick snap on an old iPhone. It's not going to look the same as a well set up shot of another daphne blue guitar that's seen a bit of sun. Even poly changes colour, my five year old vintage white str@t has started to yellow already. |

I'm color blind. These threads are really fun for me.

Got her home......
Took the five year old original strings off and oiled the neck, I'll be stringing her up when I get home from work at midnight. Don't expect I'll be getting much sleep tonight.... |

I just made that because I thought it would be pretty, not trying to prove any point. I wouldn't be a very good judge as I have partial colour blindness too. It's important to remember though that digital cameras will have different white balance programming and compression so the same guitar taken in similar light with two different cameras could look different |
