My g/f restores guitars and recently took this one in to bring back to life. (Although I kinda like it)
September '66 that was painted YELLOW and had about as much of the guard cut out as you lose and have it hold everything.
The good thing was that the old screws were put back into the holes. Has the original case and 1 orig. pickup.
She'll strip it an put on a lacquer finish in Dakota Red, what the owner wants and shows traces of in the neck pocket.
I have a Competition Orange, and next to this one, mine looks 1000 shades darker!

It kind of reminds me of the International Series from 1981. The yellow was super-bright like that... Monaco Yellow. Cool color IMHO. I'm not sure if they ever used the International colors on Mustangs. I don't think they did. Still, with a new or vintage yellowed pearl guard, that would look really cool.
I can dig the idea of doing it in Dakota Red too. Restorations are cool too.
