NGD Baby Blue ?
Just picked up this 2004 MIM tele and was wondering if anyone knows the official color of this. Also it looks like the input jack was replaced. The neck has a really nice grain which I found a bit rare. Any info is appreciated so thanks in advance.

Agreed. Also, the jack socket is called an Electrosocket. A very popular mod in these parts.

Yes Agave this one looks a little different because of the blackguard.

Yeah I would have said Ice Blue Metallic. Beautiful grain on the neck, and the Electrosocket jack is a great mod!

Congrats and enjoy!

It's fun getting good surprises when you buy used. This was from a pawn shop. It would be nice if I found out the pick ups were upgraded as well. Is there a standard output or K reading for standard Mim pups?

IBM hasnt been offered on MIM standards.

Agave was offered around 2004-5 real close to Ice Blue.

The Standard will accept a three saddle bridge, right?

Congrats on your shiny, Agave with the replacement output jack cover!

If the pickups under the hood are original, you've got the AlNico set.

Very cool color!

Yeah, that electrosocket is a solid upgrade, should serve you well.

Your very first image, at the top, is kinda tricky; almost looks Baby Blue but your guitar is clearly metallic. Dunno anyone calling a metallic "Baby".

Here's Baby Blue:

Agave Blue for 100% sure.

There was also a Sage Green Metallic that same time which is also as gorgeous.

Enjoy it!!

Lake Placid Blue is one of my favorites. Reminds me of my old 66 Chevelle. I bought this very guitar the Strat in LPB as a Christmas present to myself last year. Just as an aside I bought my 66 Chevelle conv back in late 68 and I paid $1500 for it with only 30 some thousand miles on it. It is ashame I don't still have it. I sold it for about the same as I paid for it back then. It was my favorite car of all time. Sorry I ever let it go. 327 with 305 hp and with the 4 speed wide ratio trans with super low first gear, and 308 rear it would jump out of the hole, beat many a GTO, but on the highway it was just idling and gave me 20mpg on the way to the shore.
