In this SheShreds 2018 interview, Melanie Faye lists her musical gear. The Strat is mentioned as a 2015 Fender Special Edition 60s Stratocaster Electric Guitar in Cerulean Blue.

From the interview:

What about the baby blue Strat that’s often seen in your earlier videos?

I bought that senior year of high school. I worked at Subway part-time and made minimum wage and I was really excited to buy something. It was that Black Friday time again, so everything was on sale. I can’t really say that I’ve ever really been in love with the guitar. It takes a lot of extra work to get it to sound decent. You have to really work on your technique and your touch to get the most of that guitar.

What do you look for in a guitar?

I like guitars that are really well set up, that feel really effortless, that have low action where you barely have to press down and it just feels like air. But none of my guitars feel like that at all. The blue [Fender Stratocaster] has the world’s highest action.
