It is darker than sonic and a little darker than Daphne but from what I can tell in that pic it does not appear to have metallic like Lake Placid.
Looks like a Ford blue color...

Could be Maui Blue, like this Strat...

The headstock logo on the Tele certainly fits the era of that Strat. I'd be inclined to think this is is correct.
Of course it could be a refin in a color that was never a Fender color, or even photoshopped by an art director to match a layout, but John5 is a tele collector, and it seems more likely it would be original.
Here's a pic of him with his teles, that could be it near him down on his right.
