MJT

Post by LucyTheSpud »

Has anyone here ever bought from MJT? Have realised that the Tele i want (and am holding out for) doesnt actually exist, and MJT seems to be the guys who will make the right body.

2 tone sunburst, double bound, nitro.

Also, Stratosphere parts. Anyone bought from them?

After a Fender tele neck, maple, 7.25 "C" neck. Comes on the mexi classic 50s teles.

Just want general experiences with either of these companies, or alternatives that are cheaper/better/whatever.

I like their stuff, but then I like the relic look. And they are super easy to deal with and very helpful if you get in touch. Make sure you know the weight of the piece you buy. If it is not listed on the auction, expect it to be heavier!

Never had experience with MJT, but just chiming in with a request for a build thread when you get started.
Sounds thread worthy!

I have had several bodies from MJT and all made fantastic guitars. Quality and service is fantastic. I'm sure you've seen their ebay listings, which can often be a good deal, or you can order direct from them and they'll basically do any finish/level of relic-ing you like. If relic-ing is not your thing they also do a 'closet clean' finish. If you send them pictures of what you want, they'll aim to replicate it (I assume for a fee/increased waiting time).

I've passed a couple of MJT bodies/builds on but i've still got this one. I've pondered selling it but I can't, it's too good.

Doesn't the TL62B jap telecaster pretty much fit your specs? Probably work out cheaper just importing one of them from ishibashi.
Loving it so far
