Few models probably were finished in Surf Green, not a faded Sonic Blue

Only 1990 Yngwie Malmsteen Standard Stratocasters featured a American Standard 2-Point bridge with block saddles. The Surf Green finish is a Sonic Blue faded (look at the neck pocket). Courtesy of Brandon Breeze
Strangely, under the pickguard finish seems a Surf Green. But, in the neck pocket, it's a Sonic Blue. White pickup covers, switch tip and knobs not original. Courtesy of Brandon Breeze
