Could anyone accurately tell me what colours were available on a '77 Mustang? I am looking at what I believe to be a blonde mustang, however it could also be a well aged white model. The guitar however is definitley a '77.

Which I also believe to be an ash body, as all mustangs were made from ash after '76.

After 1970 Mustangs were available in various colours so yours could be very well a blonde model.The best way to tell the original colour is to remove the pickguard or control panel and look at the unfaded colour in under.A 77 Mustang in near mint condition would be worth about $1,350- $1,450.

Below is the guitar, it looks quite a bit whiter on the photos as opposed to real life, it has more of a yellowish tinge.

An Olympic White from that era certainly would take on a yellowish tinge and judging from the pix that's what it appears to be but like I said the best way to tell is by looking at the unfaded paint under the pickguard or control cavity.
