Looks great man! I was wondering, what exactly do you mean that the closet clean tends to show a "hurried up" finish? Is it poorly finished? Is it that you can tell it was finished over the course of a couple weeks vs spending a couple months finishing it? How would this differ with their relic jobs?Footbutt wrote:here's my most recent build:
my thoughts, concerning MJT:
1. They do a great job with communication
2. The wait is a little longer, since they use Nitro
3. The relic jobs they do are superb
4. the "Closet Clean" tends to show a 'hurried up' finish
5. They work with custom orders very well (matched a cavity to a pickguard i provided)
#4 was based upon the above guitar. I am happy with it, but the buffing looked only partially completed, compared to other guitar finished i've had. Dull in some places and nice and smooth on others.
I've been communicating with one of their guys about sending off a neck and body to them for finishing but haven't had the money to yet. Just want to make sure I'm not gonna end up with something poorly done. I want a closet clean finish as I'm not a fan of guitars that are relic'd and i'd prefer to make all the marks on the guitar myself. Everyone here seems to love what they do though, that's what has me wondering.
