Thank you kindly for the compliments.

The fiesta red color is awesome. My review of MJT is mixed, but overall positive and I would recommend them. However, if you want to be anal retentive about details, look elsewhere. Perhaps Lays (which can take 9 months I hear) or Gordon Miller (if you want to send your instrument to Canada) and I also hear Dan O Caster is pretty good.

I chose to go with MJT because I had bought an Ash Strat Body from them last year and I am happy with the results.

The good:
The fiesta red is beautiful. The price was great. The amount of time it took was reasonable in comparison to how long some places take.

The bad:
I am spoiled by the experience I had in getting a Historic Makeover on a Gibson Les Paul I have. They create a great experience in photographing the transformation. I had told MJT I wanted a similar experience, and it was important to me as this was a restoration of a vintage guitar. They said they would send photo's. I didn't get them as often as I would have liked. I understand that MJT has A LOT of customers at any one time, and that may be an un-realistic expectation, but it was what I was wanting. I did get some pictures, but I had to ask them for updates on a fairly regular basis.

The Ugly:
I had asked for a desert sand base-coat. I did not get that and they did not tell me they could not deliver on that.

Man.....it's probably the sweetest jag I've seen :w00t: :-*

The color is just perfect, doesn't look like a refin at all.

Congrats, man! ;)

That's a great-looking jag, a great-looking refin, and your '60 strat is giving me the vapours... :?
