Nice! Welcome to the forum. Good looking refin. Really like that guard with the surf green.

Next purchase: guitar stand!

Real cool! Is that guard mint green or just aged?

Lovely. Looks especially good with that amp and cab.

Ha funny.

Thanks on the welcome and compliments.

Yes, it's a mint guard.

I really like that dark, blank headstock with that colour combination.

Love it. Needs black pickup covers.

Thanks. I did the amber shellac tint prior to lacquer.

I just applied the coats to achieve the desired tint then lacquered.

I love the color. I call it "caramel."

wow, that's actually the first time I've seen a mustang in this color. Surf green is GOAT fender color.

Really nice. Fender custom shop also made some in that finish, that really expensive NAMM series they made 1 or 2 years ago, but it probably looks nicer with the mint guard.

1968 is also not a very common year for Mustangs, most were '65 or '66, '69 and later had the cut out contours.

That's lovely. I reckon it needs black pickup covers.
