The neck is definatly a california series however the body is a beautiful sparkling blue? AMXN862667 I'm not that convinced it is a replacement body tho it seems so original and I have heard of some random colors towards the end of the california series run.

That serial number fits the California series type, but a serial number alone guarantees nothing. The product registration page database doesn't recognize it, but for a late nineties guitar, that's not a cause for major concern. So with this info, can't help much.

For any real help with ID'ing: pics, please. As many and as high-res as you can. Full shots, details, inside pics etc.

Also possible that sometime in the past 20 years the body was repainted.

Even amateurs using spray cans can do pro level refinishes that look factory quality.

If you disassemble the guitar and take clear pics of the neck pocket, the cavities for the pickups, controls, and output jack, and close-ups of the various mounting screw holes, we might possibly see evidence of a repaint. (No guarantee though -- really good refinishes can be hard to discern.)
