@Tom: Well, those are the standard Fender colors they just had, same like they shipped their Stratocasters for instance:

The Corona '25's blue was much darker translucent, as was the white, although the white was preety opaque. A little digging pulled this one up, blurry, but gives the idea:davismanLV said:I'm not normally a fan of covering up nice wood with paint, but for some reason these solid-colored Guilds have a strange fascination for me. I like the way they look. I don't want one, but I like looking at them. So, blue, seafoam, white and translucent red..... any other colors??
This is the first time I've ever seen 'em all in one thread.davismanLV said:Golly, Al, that blue is pretty INTENSE!! I like it, though. Like I said, they fascinate me for some reason..... maybe I'd want to collect all colors. :roll:
That "dark blue" color was officially called "Sapphire Blue Transparent".adorshki said:The Corona '25's blue was much darker translucent, ...
SFIV1967 said:Steffan posted pictures of his former Corona D-25 in the below post. It had a more traditional Guild headstock logo in gold color (all the other Corona made D25s above seem to be newer and have a different white Fender created Guild logo with the letters actually too bold):

Steffan's D25 was also not a real clean white as you see when you compare it to the "whiter" white of the binding. Not sure how this white Fender color was officially called.

It might be hard to get one...The color was called "Surf Green", not "Seafoam Green".poser said:Why am I suddenly gassing for a sea foam green D25? :roll:

Fenders color chart shows a "Surf Green" and a "Foam Green" (which some people called "seafoam").
The "Surf Green" was originally used on 1957 Chevys whereas the "Foam Green" was a 1956 Buick color.
This is Fenders's original 1960 Custom Color Chart where you see both:
On Fender guitars it looks like this, you see the "Surf Green" is the lighter green:

Well, you probably will not find one... At least I have not seen a Corona D25 in the darker "Foam Green". All D25 that I have seen were "Surf Green" only.poser said:Should I ever have the opportunity, I think I'd choose the Foam Green.
