I was trying to hunt down the color code for Fender's Baltic Blue and I came across a great website for color.
https://encycolorpedia.com/search?q=fender There are so many color formats for different applications (such as RGB, CMYK, HEX, Pantone, etc.) but when it comes to automotive-style finishes, it seems that every paint manufacturer has their own color codes and ways to do it. With the website above, you can narrow your search and then find the corresponding automotive color. I googled a few photos of the make/model/color in the site search results to confirm and I was able to dial in the exact color. The site also has a lot of color codes for individual manufacturers on it. In my case, they didn't have the company I was using but I was able to cross reference a color on their website that matched a classic car color. Real timesaver.

For few brief years the La Cabronita was the talk of the town. A Telecaster with an angsty Gretsch voice in a very limited Custom Shop offering, which later became a full line of Fender guitars reimagined. 2009In its first year, there were 120 La Cabronita Especials released. Offered in 4 colors and two varieties- a dual pickup TV Jones Filtertron version and a single pickup TV Jones Powertron version. There were at least 3 prototypes in black, one went to Bill Gibbons, and one with a rosewood fretboard went to John Mayer.

However, there were an additional 15 "one-offs" made for the 2010 NAMM Show to create the wall of color effect Mike Eldred loved so much.

Some people go to beaches for vacation- I go to places to eat, drink, and check out guitars. A buddy of mine owns a tattoo shop over there and I thought it would be a good time to drop in for a visit. Here is the hitlist: 1. Chicago music ExchangeWhat an amazing guitar shop. Wide selection, friendly staff, and the instruments were exceptionally well-maintained. I was floored. I snapped photos of some of my favorites in the shop. I can't walk into a shop without buying anything, so I picked up a new Fender Gold Foil Telecaster as a gift to my gracious host for the trip. He's loving it so far. 2. Chicago guitar space
