"Lake Placid Blue may have only been available on Cadillacs for a single year in 1958, but Fender’s use of the color from 1960-1973 have immortalized the DuPont shade in the hearts and minds of guitar fans worldwide.

While all LPB looked the same from the factory, unintended yellowing of the clear topcoats often turned these alluring blue Fenders into a puke-adjacent green. Luckily for us, this particular example happens to be an ideal specimen that has remained immune from any displeasing shift of color. While we do have a deep appreciation for squeaky-clean instruments, the moderate but tasteful play wear on this guitar exudes a sense of effortless cool; one that can’t be reproduced or replicated by any builder or custom shop on the planet. Apart from a well-executed refret, this Strat is all original and would be the centerpiece of any Fender collection you’re likely to come across." - Tyler Geske, ECG Newsletter
