Good Evening,
I have a question, can someone please in the most detailed minutiae explain the difference between these two Fender finishes:
1) TAOS TURQUOISE
2) MIAMI BLUE
Thank you very much.

looks like bots are now looking for inactive members and hacking their accounts. The OP made one post in 2005 and now a question like this? If their IP gets banned, they're determined to get here somehow. Why we're such a popular attraction is a mystery.

Just tangentially, on the forum I created as a proof-of-concept (I'm in Las Vegas this week and hope to show it to MY powers that be), I noted that an account had been created from a Russian IP address, but no posts were made. The forum software has some safeguards (Captcha, etc.) in place to prevent that.

Nice, OS. I wish we had some way of making things easier on Ken F. I'm not trying to kiss his ass, but we all owe him endless thank-yous. Is something like Capcha easily integratable?

Good Evening to everyone in this thread. Believe it or not,.... This is a legitimately posted question and it is quite true that I have not posted on this site FOR A DAMN LONG TIME. : )
But it is a real question.
The two colors look very similar to me but, technically these are two different colors hence the two different names, so I was wondering if anyone definitively knew what the differences are between them.
Thank you again.
Taos Turquoise was introduced on a limited basis for 1956 only though never listed in Fender's "official" roster of custom DuPont paints. The color was originally developed by the Ford Motor Company's Lincoln-Mercury division. Fender would later resurrect this shade as an available color for selected Custom Shop instruments.
I've never seen "Miami Blue" but this is Taos Turquoise......

Hello Phantom,
Thank you for your reply.
I recently learned of the Miami Blue finish from this MusicZoo thread:

Have a good evening.
The Miami Blue hue doesn't seem to have much, if any, green component to it as with the Taos Turquoise color.

Slap me silly and call me Sally, an actual live person. I've been playing whack-a-mole so much that everything was beginning to look like a mole. My apologies.
I wonder if Miami Blue is one of those colors that doesn't really officially exists. There are numerous shades of reds given monikers that Fender did not create. Between clear coat yellowing and paint pigments reacting to UV over decades, then people try to replicate those colors. I'm pretty sure Fender didn't make a Salmon Pink or a Coral before faded guitars had people trying to figure what to call them.
Then there is the sticky wicket of how digital cameras capture colors and how monitors display them. Some colors are notoriously difficult to capture, like Metallic Ocean Turquoise.

Very weird- I cannot see any image or image url in this post unless I go into edit mode, & then https://i.ibb.co/r3BRbsB/DSCN9846sm.jpg shows up inside the img tags. When I paste the img address into my address bar, I am prevented from viewing the page:
"You cannot visit i.ibb.co right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later."
looks like something new Fender put out. I checked with Sweetwater and they have it too.
nice color blue, for sure.

So did you buy the Miami Blue Strat or not?

Both colors are very becoming......

I agree

great oogly moogly, look at that thang. mmmm. gorgeous.
i get stuff daily from motor magazine sites, the stream of classic cars going to auction. Not everything sells for crazy money but the standards like Chevelle, Cobra stuff, Mopar are apparently almost paying off what the owners put into them. Some stuff sells for retirement kind of money. 'Kay, thanks, bye. Gone like a fart in the wind. Buy a homestead from a motivated seller and try to live off grid as possible.

Chevrolet's A body shell remained the same from '68 and '69 but they used different grills and taillights. Also, the '68 still had the wing-vent windows and featured round exterior mirrors. 1970 introduced an all-new platform with a squared-off grill and front clip plus taillights set into the rear bumper. The top-dog Super Sport powerplant was a 454 while the standard 396 grew to 402 cubes (but was still referred to as a 396). Also new for 1970 was the optional cowl-induction hood available on the SS models.

I apologize for my earlier, snide remarks. We've been spammed here so much lately that I thought this was a spammy topic.

Indeed......lately we've been overrun by a battalion of bots and droids hellbent on corrupting virtually every section of this forum. Often it seems like the last stand at the Alamo.
