MJT Sherwood.... now Sunburst Jazzmaster FINISHED (Pg.5)

[HNB]

I ordered this body a ways back from MJT. It is almost in the finishing stage. Alder body. Novak PAF under Jazzmaster covers. Going to for a simple clean look. Here are the pictures I have so far.

Nice! That’s a very well done light aging (and great color!). Tort guard incoming?

[Somnospeed]

Outstanding work! Looks genuine too. Are you available for hire by chance??

It is going to have white and cream plastics. I was going to do tort, but couldn't find one I liked that had the correct pickguard shape. Most have the upper left angle rounded.

MJT did the work. They are definitely for hire.

The word Sherwood immediately reminds me of Robin Hood.

[HNB]

For sure!

That's a beautiful body. Perfect shade of Sherwood IMO. What's the story on the neck? Maple or rosewood fretboard?

For real. He's making the rest of us look bad. I think I built 8 guitars last year, but HNB probably had that many completed by February.

Seriously though, that body looks great! Thanks for not putting tort on it. I'm sure you already have the neck figured out, but one of those Allparts D+B necks would look nice on there.

It will have a standard maple and rosewood neck. I like to buy Allparts ones and dye/stain them myself.

I was definitely doing that for awhile. I am mostly trying to finish the ones I started now. Haven't ordered any new bodies in over two months. (Which is a long time for me. LOL)

I was tending to do one or two a month. A d and b one would be nice but those only come with strat headstocks from Allparts.

LOL!

Tha's a great color. I love the darker sherwood like the OG AVRI '62 RI run.

[HNB]

I like the darker green also. I sent MJT a reference picture to try to make sure I didn't end up with turquoise green like they sometimes look.

I stand by previous comment. Best version of this color by far.

Curious, how long did it take to get to this stage in finishing?

[HNB]

Quite a long while.
