Here it is!

Here's a link to a Strat pic right off the Fender website in number "67" Honey Blonde. In Fender nomanclature, the first number is used to designate country of origin, series, accessorie level, or some other such thing. The last 2 digits denote the color. I thought they had actually dropped this designation and just listed a guitar as 67, not 067 or 567 depending on where it came from. Is it older literature you're looking at? Anyway, this is it!

867 translates to 8=deluxe case, 67=color Honey Blonde. It's on page 83 of the latest Frontline also.

The 8xx color codes mean they come with a deluxe case. 506 means black with no case, 306 black with a gig bag, 806 black with a deluxe case... I forget the standard case code, but it's all in the price list if you go to the resources section.

Here's a good close up pic

Of another Nocaster that someone else here bought a day or two ago. This is a NOS model though, not a Relic. But according to the specs, the NOS, Relic, and CC all come in the same single color.

NOS Nocaster

When I zoomed in on the guitar you pointed us to, I though that looked pretty darn close to the Relic Nocasters I've seen.

thx Mike.
However, when i check out in Fender site that posted as follow: NOS :(807) Vintage Blonde, CC n Relic : (867) Honey Blonde.
i know the photo that u show me is Vintage Blonde.(NOS)
Actually, i like the color more yellow or orange than NOS, so if the relic is, then i will go ahead. Otherwise, need to think abt it....so i need check it out first.
thx

Hey it's Music123, you 45 days to return it, so your out $30.00 shipping, if it's not what you want send it back.

Check the garage sale...

There's a Nocaster in closet classic mode there for $1,600... Would save you a fair bit of change if you like the guitar. Usual caveats apply, not affiliated with seller, etc. Cheers, bt

Hi all.i got a cc nocaster and it's much more wellow than the one you display.I think it's the color Eric is looking for.In the daylight she looks buttersctoch, but less orange than a 52 ri, and under floods looks yellow.
I'm very pleased with.Nice thin finish,and feather weigth.
Hope it helps.
Good day.

My one.

This was painted Blonde a few months ago with very thin nitro and has deepened in colour to what you see above.
Different angles can make it look different shades, (although this one is the true colour) particularly in photos so I wouldn't take it for granted that a photo of a colour is a true image.

I have a honey blonde American Series...It doesn't look like any of the pictures posted. It changes between a whitish hue and a a color not unlike the background of this website depending on the light. The grain is visible but not anywhere near as much as the strat picture shows. It's fairly obvious in person, but in photos the gloss covers it all up, and the paint is slathered on fairly thick.
