This is a used 2007 CS '63 Tele stock white blonde that is a wildwood now. It is my favorite tele color (aged white blonde). Could this color have been acheived in a year or was something done to help it along?

Fantastic guitar. Aged White Blonde is similar to Honey Blonde, IMO.
In response to your signature...Yes, I noticed how bad your spelling is

You know LP I wasn't going to say anything but as long as ajgus brought it up....
Your spelling isn't what concerns me, it is your syntax.

I feel so much better!!

I think it is possible to age or yellow a blonde finish in a year. It all depends on how much smoke, sun light, etc. it is exposed to during that time. It doesn't appear to be overly aged. I would have to see under the pg to get a look at the original hue.

If the color is called aged blonde then a small amount of yellow tint was added to make it look like it aged over time.

These new Nitro Fenders dont age as quick as the old original Fenders did cause in the new Nitro there is an agent to lessen UV rays so they dont fade as quick.

Oh. Is Aged Blonde the name of the finish? Then yeah, it comes stock like that I would think. I know the Baja comes in a "Vintage" Blonde, but thats more Butterscotchy.

No, this guitar is white blonde like the '55 thin skins are. The guitar in the picture is a NOS '63.
