COMMENTS
Blue Flower pattern slightly different from Blue Flower Stratocaster (Model #2)
Don't confuse it with domestic Blue Flower Stratocasters
The finishes are actually done by putting foil paper with the design on it on the guitar and gluing it to the wood. The paper is cut off at the edges of the guitar and then done again on the back of the guitar the same way. The blue is used to cover the places where the foil paper ends and creates the cool burst color.
