My explanation is simple - Tokai got their colours wrong. We've seen this before with Goldstars; what Tokai called LB - Lake Placid Blue - is a lighter shade than real LPB. They also did a colour called Metallic Blue which was darker & closer to the real LPB. Crazy huh?
Tokai's version of Sonic Blue is also wrong - my take on the colour is that is was originally closer to Daphne Blue & has aged to close to Foam Green.
This is my 1983 US Fender, & it's definitely LPB. Yours is a gorgeous colour, but it's the wrong shade for LPB, whatever Tokai called it.
Here's a selection from our Leeds get-together, 3 Goldstars & a Bacchus. From left Sonic Blue, a Bacchus in (I think) Ocean Turquoise, then 2 Goldies in Metallic Blue. See what I mean? :lol:
