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

Next purchase: guitar stand! :lol:

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

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.
