Is anyone well versed on the colors offered in 1995 for MIM Strats? I just acquired a beautiful body (and neck) on ebay that was billed as Lake Placid Blue, but I don't think it is. I really love this color, but it's actually a bit greener than LPB - looks kind of Pelham Blue to me. See pics. I can't find a 1995 color chart anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

When you look at the catalog it shows that Lake Pacid Blue was the only blue availible in 1995 and you are right that does not look like that shade you have. Yours looks more like Blue Agave 2001-2005 and when you look at it on the color chart on the site here it matches the Agave.

Yeah - you're probably right because the body is in great shape - more likely an '05 because of the condition. But the same guy sold me the neck and said it was from the same guitar, and the serial number starts with MN5, indicating a '95 neck, but it's probably a mis-matched set. Thanks for your help.

BTW - is the '95 catalog or color chart available anywhere on line? My Frontline mag collection only goes back to '99.

What numbers do you find in the body's cavities?

The color code could be there.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on perhaps the oldest thread resurrection I have seen. :-)
