Lefty Mustang Project - need some input

lokalfuz

Hey there, I've got a Mustang project going, getting close to painting it, but can't decide what color or if I should put comp. stripes to it. I'm leaning toward Sherwood Green with matching headstock, but a Coral color sounds appealing as well. It's got fairly decent grain, so a natural finish isn't out of the question either. What does everyone think?

Well, I finally decided on Comp. Orange, and here's the progress so far:

I still need to do some wet sanding, clear coats and more wet sanding, but I like the way it's coming along.

Did you buy or make the body? I'm only asking because I am a southpaw as well and would love to make a Mustang.

I bought the body from TK Custom, I think it was around $100. But as you can see, I had to do some additional routing to get things to fit. I even sent the body back to them once because the routs were so bad. After they sent it back to me again, I still could not get the neck to fit, or the loaded pickguard, so I routed it myself and said screw 'em.

Just waiting on my Fender "F" neck plate and I'll string it up and let it rip!
