Been seeing alot of MIM Strats advertised as ice Blue Metallic in color, but they all appear to be Lake Placid Blue. Did the mexican factory ever make Strats in IBM?

Many of those "Ice Blue Metallic" guitars have been mis-identified by owners and/or sellers. They're actually "Agave Blue", a close relative of IBM.

Is there a way to determine by serial number the color of the MIM guitar when it left the factory?
Thanks!

You may find some useful data here......

Or you can e-mail your guitar's serial number here......

consumerrelations@fender.com

......for a record of the guitar's as-manufactured specs.
