The original blue is very much how a National Geographic might print it, at least that’s the feeling I get. For better or worse, I t appears to be a conscious decision to draw the viewer in. The more ‘realistic’ (?), ‘correct’ (?) version presented by Telecaster doesn’t have the same dynamic. I appreciate the original post, although being too stuck in my ways at times, I might have (incorrectly) tones down the blues.
