I'm not sure of the model, but it's definitely an ash body.

From the look of the neck, it seems to be a Deluxe Ash Strat in Ocean Turqoise Color.

It's a first-generation American Deluxe Strat in transparent teal - you can see the chrome headstock decal and the abalone dots. Yes, it has an ash body; during that first generation they didn't have a separate "American Deluxe Ash Strat"; you just got an ash body when you got transparent teal, transparent white blonde (which also had a tortoise shell pickguard instead of the aged pickguard) and I think transparent chrimson red (but the reds could have been alder; haven't seen a red one in years). They were made from 1998 through 2003.

This color combo looked good on the Strats and even better on the Teles since the American Deluxe Tele's also had binding on the top of the body.

Transparent Teal was also offered on certain Factory Special Run versions of the "2nd Generation" American Deluxe series. These guitars were produced from 2004 to 2006.

You forgot transparent purple, natural and aged cherry sunburst.

Very cool; I never saw the 2nd Generation FSR in Trans Teal - I think they must have been done for the overseas market and were never available in the USA. It was always a very nice color.

I forgot about the naturals and the trans purple. I thought aged cherry burst on the 1998-2003s was alder, but I could be thinking of the second and third generation American Deluxe Tele.
