That looks cool. I think Mustangs take most colours well, especially with contrasting pups/guard.

Turd-a-liscious!

As hinted, probably only a Mustang could look decent in that smudge shade of earth.

I've only tried painting guitars 2 other times. It looks good in the photo, but on fine inspection it is far from a factory finish... some little specs and bumps and what not... but it's rad enough for me to like it! It'll get nicks and bumps anyways so in time i wont even notice the imperfections
glad you guys like it too!
