obviously it's impossible for me to tell from the pics but the body doesn't look bad, I've seen much worse.    Some Mustangs aren't rounded over as much as strats, usually inbetween a strat & a tele  from what I've seen.  When it comes to over-sanded bodies, my main concern is the neck pocket.  I can't stand it when the neck plate is too close to the edge. 

but hey, I've got a 66 musicmaster II neck that needs a body  ;)

It's just taken apart and I'm looking for some parts.  Mostly I'm waiting for a chance to sit down with my niece and talk about her color options.  Then after I buy the paint, I'll start re-working the body, get it painted, and re-assemble everything.  Hopefully we'll have most of the parts in hand by then.
