Re: 1965 Fender Jaguar Restoration
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
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...
