1966 Fender Mustang - SN# 134978 Professionally refinished in Olympic White. Formerly known as the "Stripper 'Stang" here on OSG. My guitar tech meticuously removed the glitter from the original pickguard.
In the Stripper 'Stang mode:
As it is now:
I hadn't gotten around to taking a photo of the neck heel date stamp. I'll update here when I can.

Re: Vintage Mustang Database (1964 - 1980)
Here's mine: 1966 (16Jan66B) SN 117862
Resto thread here: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=122045
The red isn't original, unfortunately. It has traces of Daphne Blue in the cavities. When I bought it it had a horrible purple refin.
