SOLD - Shell Pink MJT Tele - Musikraft Neck

benecol

Here we have my shell pink MJT tele with Musikraft neck. I ordered the whole kit from Mark back in 2011 (blimey) and I love it to bits. Had loads of teles before, and while I felt Fender were getting there with the Baja, it wasn't quite right for me, so I specced my own. Specs are...

- Shell pink nitro tele with (very) light yellowing.
- Closet clean finish, no checking (it's since started to check of its own accord, natch).
- Ash body: whole guitar weighs 6lb 6oz.

- Musikraft neck made to the following spec: right-handed, 25.5 scale, 21 frets, 1-3/4" nut, standard heel, rock maple, Kluson tuner holes, single action trussrod, 7.25" radius, black markers with standard spacing, 6105 frets, flat nut, Fat C 1" to 1", slotted bone nut installed by Musikraft, semi rolled fingerboard edges.
- Musikraft sent the beck to MJT to finish in nitro, closet clean finish on the neck too.

- Closet clean hardware too.
- White button Allparts Klusons
- Wilkinson compensated brass saddle bridge
- Three-ply mint guard, domed knobs, round string tree, tophat switch tip,. Everything metal (including screws!) aged by MJT.
- Electrosocket jack, because life's too short for tele jacks.
- Fender '51 Nocaster pickups

Going to pause here to emphasise: it's Musikraft's Fat C neck, it's 1" thick all the way up, and it's lovely. Don't be scared.

Colour's looking a little bionic in the sun: left edge of first pic probably the most representative. It's just starting to check a bit, and it's got some dings and chips; I've played it a lot.

I'd rather sell it in one piece than part it out because it's a beauty and I love it. I'm looking for £725. (price assumes Paypal gift). I'm located near M5 J13, would drive 50 miles/halfway (whichever's shorter) to meet you for a little petrol money, or I'll (reluctantly, but it is a tele) ship it for £30.

Shout with any questions x

Hahaha - those are special nitro-protection socks, like Steven Seagal uses in his walk-in Guitar Humidor.

My MJT tele is the best tele I’ve owned or played. Put together by Alan Dingwall with a set of his amazing pickups and a bridge from a Nash tele. 

It’s awesome.

A price drop bump.

I'll DM the buyer for you in case he's not seen, and try and not look at the pics or remember how great it was...

Hi Tim, excellent taste.
I've still got it (albeit with a few more wear marks).
It was very good before, but I've 'tweaked' it with a pair of custom wound Sunbear Pickups and then Lucky Dog cast bridge, control plate and heavy knurled knobs.  I've also got a heavy relic Custom Shop Nocaster with an equally fat neck.... but this is honestly a much better guitar.
