Olympic white finish on Fender American Strats

[mhalsey]

Anyone own one in this finish and have pics? Looking at available pics on the web, it's hard to get a feel for what the finish truly looks like. I assume it's not identical to arctic white and more like arctic white just as it's starting to fade; on newer models anyway. Am I right in my assumption?

Artic white is real bright white. I prefer it, I'm building an artic white strat right now.

I think it's the Hendrix Blackmore, Malmsteen(duck) white. I really like it and want a strat in that finish one o these days

Olympic white is an off white with a little, blue and brown tint added to the brite white base. It's a 1958 Cadillac color. I have a '63 Fender Jazz bass in that color that I refinished.

Thanx gentlemen. Sorta looks like the color starts off where I'd want it to eventually end up if I were to keep it. Oh well. Second choice comin' up!!

Oly White is the best color ever for a Strat. They look awesome once they age and start yellowing. Total Hendrix/Uli Roth/Malmsteen vibe.

Yes, there's really nothing left now to life, is there? It's like landing on the moon and then coming back to Earth. But, then again, there are many other guitars to seek out. Now, where did I place those mega millions lottery tickets? I neeeeeeed more CASH! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
