Second 'build'. - Graffiti Yellow HSS Stratalike

[somebodyelseuk]

Hiya,
Couple of years back, almost to the day, I ordered the bits for the guitar in this thread - https://unofficialwarmoth.com/threads/first-warmoth-assembly-green-hss-strat-a-like.35677/
I was so delighted with the result, I finally decided to (re)build it's twin.
Same specs except this time I'm going with an alder body in graffiti yellow.
Essentially, it'll be a better quality version of this guitar that'll be donating it's electrics and tuners.
Now for the three month wait

Cool.

One of the best and most underrated Fender colours.

Hiya, I'm not sure it was originally a Fender colour.
First time I saw it on anything was in the early '90s on Ibanez and ESPs. I'm hoping it's the same as the colour in my photo - a real 'in yer face', bright YELLOW - and not the limp yellows that Fender tended to do, more like a banana skin.

Graffiti yellow was indeed a Fender custom colours, when they approached Jeff Beck to make his signature model he specifically asked for a Strat the same colour as the race van in the movie "American Graffiti". So in 1988 they came out with that colour.

Ibanez about the same time released the Desert yellow, that is more fluorescent and therefore more 80s that this late 50s shade. Not sure what ESP was doing back then.

Okay. Looks like I'm in for a disappointment, then?
