2016年2月15日 · Sonic Blue is a color that's shifted a lot. The 60's Baja and 60's Strat from Fender have a "faded" sonic blue that's very, very light...which I also like (I painted a Precision Bass I have that color). I've found that "normal" sonic blue varies a bit. This fits within that spectrum moreso than Daphne....but they're not worlds apart.

2009年3月30日 · I hate this so much. Im ready to refinish my classic player 60s strat. right now its in sonic blue polyester. i hate this plastic finish, its so hard and shiny. I love the look of the vintage strats like john frusciante that show their scratches in the nitro finish. I tried biting my strat and it didnt even leave a mark.

2010年1月26日 · Trying to decide if I should go with a mint green (white) pick guard on the sonic blue strat I am building. Rosewood fretboard. I will be using the old style darker sonic blue, not the newer pale one. I'd like to see a photo of yours if you have one.

2020年12月4日 · Oh man, a mid-60s Strat reissue with matching large headstock and fingerboard binding is one of my bucket list guitars! Preferably in surf green or sonic blue. I read somewhere that Brad Whitford of Aerosmith also has (or had) an original one of those Strats probably from the same run that Cooder's came from. I wonder what finish his was/is.

2023年4月5日 · Sonic blue is View attachment 1105577 View attachment 1105575actually much lighter than it often appears. Compare that John Lennon photo with this one which is more like it. As is my strat. For some reason sonic blue seems to be the shape shifter of the color world. Maybe that’s why, in my opinion, it’s the coolest of colors.

2020年4月17日 · Sonic blue is a pretty color, but it does range from baby blue/powder blue to a very pale shade that is almost a white - plus some of the pale version of the color is "aged", so with a yellowed top coat it can look a bit greenish-blue as well. The only sonic blue I've owned was a 2013 special run American Standard Strat done for Guitar Center ...

2024年10月30日 · I once owned a 1961 Sonic Blue strat, and as a dumb teenager I sold it. I have been chasing that guitar for the last 3 decades. Can't spend 20-30 grand for a real replacement. I did have our very own preeb build one, and it is fantastic. …

2012年12月15日 · Back in the 60's Sonic Blue was a pale baby blue, while Daphne Blue had a drop of green in it - a sort of aqua or a light turquoise. Today it can be real confusing though, with very little consistency. These CS guitars are close to the original 60's colors as I …

2015年2月28日 · Daphne, Sonic, Surf, and Seafoam can all be pretty hard colors to pinpoint. I have 2 Sonic Blue Strat bodies (One Classic Player 60s and a Blacktop). When I put a white pickguard on either of them, I would swear they were a light green. If I put a mint green pg on, they begin to look blue again!

2024年2月3日 · Sonic Blue will always be a sore subject for me. Slightly tangental, but back when I was in high school in the early/mid 1980s, I bought a '64 Sonic Blue Strat from a friend of my guitar teacher's for either $2100 or 2300; transition logo/August '64 neck, serial number in the L40000 range, greened-out guard, white case with black …
