There is a good photo on Bobby's Facebook page. The strap is round the headstock behind the nut! No drilling required..

If they are, then surely it would be possible to carefully remove the top layers and return the guitar to its original colour... be that flamingo pink or fiesta red, or whatever!

The story, as told to me, is that the guitar was disassembled, and some original red paint was discovered in the neck pocket. A very small, discrete mark was put in the neck pocket (to ensure the correct body was returned from paint) and instructions given to strip the body, and re-paint, matching the colour in the neck pocket. The body was returned looking splendid with it's new coat of paint, but there was some doubt as to whether the shade was correct. The guitar was nonetheless re-assembled (with replacement period correct tuning peg from Fender) and returned to Bruce. Bruce then used it on stage whilst wearing his white suit, and some of the fresh paint transferred to his jacket, so he returned the guitar, advising that "it's the wrong colour and has ruined my suit", so the whole re-fin process was repeated. This time, however, there was no longer any original paint left, so the colour was settled upon from photos and Bruces memory.
