Built in 1999. I've had it since 2006. Amazing quality, great playability and sound.
This color is impossible to photograph accurately. It's greener than it looks here (even greener than the middle photo). It's not a traditional seafoam, and I still wonder if there was a special name given to this color when they made it.

Wow, looks awesome! Surf Green is one of my favorite custom colors. This looks darker? These vintage reissue Strats are great axes...my '59 reissue blonde Strat plays and sounds as good, albeit less mojo than the many pre-CBS Strats I've owned over the decades. I played a real '59 hard tail Strat nearly exclusively for a decade!

Yeah, it's much closer to seafoam than surf green (based on my understanding of the standards, as illustrated below). Much closer to seafoam, but it's not exactly seafoam either. My middle photo comes close to the color, but in reality it's a bit more green.
I've had a few Strats over the years (a refinned '65; a white '70; a '73 sunburst; and a Japanese '57 reissue from the 80's), and this CS guitar just destroys all of them. The damn thing is so rich and resonant, I even play it unplugged for long stretches sometimes.

These custom shop Fenders are great gigging guitars. They play and sound good and you don't worry about dinging them up at the show!
