Desert Sand is a very light, very unsaturated reddish yellow color similar to the coloration of sand. It can also be defined as a deep shade of beige.
Desert Sand was used by General Motors as a paint color for their first Cadillacs.
Fender used it in the late 50’s, especially on their Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic models. It was also used on some Lap Steel of the time.
Our vintage-inspired colors
Nitorlack colors are based on the original Fender and Gibson colors. The creation of these colors is preceded by a great work and exhaustive study by our laboratory and technical department. Thanks to this, we have been able to recreate with fidelity the tones of the Fender and Gibson guitars from the 50’s and 60’s.
During those years up to the present day it should be noted that the colors of vintage guitars have changed a lot over the years due to the aging of the nitrocellulose lacquer and modifications in the colors of the brands.
Therefore, two guitars finished in 1960 with fender colors may be totally different from each other or from a more current guitar.
