What about Ishibashi? MIJ traditional JM for $1100 plus shipping. Not sure whether there’s some sales tax that’d be removed for selling outside Japan?

https://intl.ishibashi.co.jp/products/06-2800002193599

Not an exciting colour, and that buzzstop should go directly in the bin, but it gets you a long way towards the JM thing.

Good eye !
Think poly (if that matters to you) but then again so too for some of the mexis. Some not so bad

Couple of MIJ Traditional Mustangs for under $1k that I’m tempted by. I like a Mustang, but I also like a vibrato that actually works.

That looks amazing. I love Candy Apple Red! If I was to build one it'd be CAR with vintage tint.
