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

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

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."

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.

When you press the accelerator past halfway it doesn’t actually go any faster, but the engine noise distorts

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