MJT finished bodies?

[LennyJ]

My mjt body took 7.5 months

I do not mind the long time, but every mail I got from MJT had the schedule attached that said 16 weeks. that's all great body tho

MJT body in non metallic British Racing Green with lite relic, Spitfire guard, Musikraft jazz neck with oil finish by MJT, D.Allen pickup, mammoth ivory nut. 7.4 lbs. MJT does very good work. I don't remember the delivery time, but it wasn't bad.

Here is my MJT after 2 years.

I’m currently waiting on a “closet clean” MJT precision body in Shorline Gold. I’ll post pics as they come, and then more pics when I receive the body.

My LPB jazz was supposed to be closet clean as well, but it arrived more heavily relic’d than I had hoped. Not sure where the disconnect was because I had a Luthier source the parts and build it, and he used MJT to finish the body. That being said, I was/am still extremely pleased with the instrument. Just hoping the Shorline Gold shows up cleaner than the LPB did, since the neck most likely won’t be a relic.

This is definitely not what I would consider “closet clean”, even when approximating a 60 year old instrument… because it should look like it was in a closet for those six decades.

It looks great!

I had a similar issue with MJT. I ordered a body that should have had finish checking, but it showed up closet clean. Seems that they could be doing a little better with their QC.
