Guitar player in one of my groups has a light green Strat . . . I call it Amana green. I just asked him if he had a pic of it I could post here.

I recently bought a Shell Pink GFS body for my '94 MIJ Strat when they were having a Black Friday sale. I'll keep the original body in case I change my mind.

Okay wait.... I just had a flash. Remember in the 60's and early 70's wasn't there an appliance color that was like a burst?? Kinda copper colored but darker on the outside.... what was that called? My parents had an Amana refrigerator (thanks @Steelman) that was that brownish kinda copper ... what was that?

Who was Daphne in Daphne Blue? (I want to meet her!) ....Wiki says she was a naiad in Greek mythology, harassed by Apollo, so her father cleverly turned her into a kind of laurel bush. (Try that with your daughter next time she wants to go dancing with Brandon!) Cool name for a girl in a song...." I love you / Daphne Blue/ but your father's so mean/ he ctransformed you in a tree / and now you can't be seen/except on Cadillacs and old Fenders' shellac/and you can't swim a lot/in that terracota pot......." The Flamin' Groovies could have sung this, huh? (next episode : the Sea-foam Green Preservation Society......) Awwg! Sorry , folks,it's too early, I need some coffee, so my mind re-integrates my body....

This reminds me of one of the coolest websites I've stumbled across. Has anybody ever been here? Avocado Memories
Thanks, Kurt!! Growing up in the San Fernando Valley nearby this remembrance website is really FUN and I'm just getting started!! I was a Woodland Hills kid, until we moved to Thousand Oaks up in Ventura County.

Love all the '50s colors! I recently bought a shell pink G&L JB, and it has become my new favorite. It's a tone monster, has a super fast neck, and is a very geezer friendly 7.3 pounds thanks to an empress wood body.

I've been converted!
Love a G & L, have a ruby red metallic ASAT and a Fullerton red Legend!
