Getting ready to start another MJT JM Build. I've been wanting to build a "Tomato Soup"/Faded Fiesta Red JM forever. There's Danocaster out there that stole my heart forever ago, and wanted to replicate that color scheme ever since.
I got extremely lucky last night and checked TGP right as someone was scrapping their JM project and was able to grab everything but pickups at once. Will need to order a Spitfire guard as well. Hopefully he's not backlogged. Either way, this should move more quickly than anticipated now!
Speaking of pickups - what do you guys like for "girthier" JM tones? Novak FAT/V combo still the reigning champ?
MJT body 3lb 11oz (I assume Ash at that weight, but not positive)
MJT Allparts JM neck and aged tuners
Spitfire Bright Red Speckled 60's
Mastery Vibrato (brushed - but will see if anyone has a polished to trade. Not sure I like the brushed look)
Mastery Bridge
Black Bobbin Harness
Stew Mac 1° shim
