Soon to be MJT user here. Just a quick question, whats the diameter/width of the bridge thimble/mounting holes on your MJT Jazzmaster bodies? Trying to figure out if a Gibson Nashville or Gotoh Nashville tune-o-matic bridges thimbles will drop right in?

Is that a gold anodized guard or is it a really aged white?

It's a mint guard aged by MJT.

I actually just traded it to another OSG member for a tort guard.

here's a better pic.

Looks great, as much as a like tort, mint on sunburst just seems classy

Thanks, yeah I can't wait for it to arrive!

One question to other MJT JM users, will I have to square the trem cavity or has this problem been sorted out by the body suppliers in the meanwhile?

Flex Guitars makes a D&B with a CBS headstock.

The tort was from PortlandMusic (eBay seller) before he jacked up his prices. It is the newer WD Tort.

It looks as though the coloured "aging" lacquer is just scratching/flaking away...
is that what's happening there?
