I am looking at a used American Standard Tele made in 2000. Does anyone know if Lake Placid Blue was a color option for this year? They seller sent me a picture (the guitar is blue, but it doesn't look quite like Lake Placid). He isn't sure what the official color is, so I thought I'd ask you experts. Thx!

Got a '78 Strat in Lake Placid Blue Metallic but sorry, the body was refinished. However I looked at many pics of Lake Placid Blue and no two ever quite look alike. Color could have changed through the year but I havent seen any 2000 MIA tele in that color.

For what it's worth, I just bought one on EBay and the seller said that Lake Placid Blue (and several other colors) were exclusive to 2002 and that only 500 of each were made. He got his info from a vintage guitar store somewhere in LA; to be honest, I haven't had the time to research that claim yet.
