Sold: Mjt/musikraft '60 Strat Relic Replica Partsocaster

[Leotis]

I built this guitar a little over two years ago, using an MJT '60 Strat Relic body and a Musikraft custom Fender-style neck. The body was pretty straightforward- just a reliced copy of a 1960 Fender Strat body in alder with a 3-tone sunburst. The neck, however, was purely custom ordered and doesn't really adhere to pre-CBS Fender specs. The neck was ordered as follows:



Strat Neck (2 pc)



Scale: 25.5 Standard Fender

Number of Frets: 21

Nut Width: 1.650 (41.91mm)

Tuner Holes: 11/32 Vintage Kluson Style

Nut Slot Style: Fender Flat Bottom

Shaft Wood: Rock Maple

Fretboard Wood: Darker Rosewood (+$25)

Top Dots: Imitation Synthetic Clay Dots

12th Dots: Wide- Pre-'64

Side Dots: White 2mm

Side Dot Loc: Centered on Fingerboard

Fret Wire: Medium Jumbo 6150 Nickel Silver

Fretboard Edges: Semi-Rolled

Back Profile: Charvel Pro-Mod .79-.85

Finish: Thin Lacquer Sealer (+$20)

Nut Install: Install Slotted TUSQ Nut (+$35)



The other specs are as follows:

Chrome standard Schaller straplock buttons

Factory-aged Gotoh Vintage-style tremolo with steel block- (GE101TS)

This guitar sounds MAGNIFICENT and plays like a dream. I hate to part with it, but I have a mountain of medical bills to pay.

I've had a couple of questions about the weight, so I thought I'd add that information for anyone interested. My digital bathroom scales put it at 7lbs 4oz.

You saw this guitar on Craig's List? If you did, it's a scam. I have never listed any music gear on Craig's List. Which one?

Final price drop is my bottom line of $700 shipped & insured via PP Gift or add 3%. I'll give it a little while at this and if it doesn't sell, I'll gladly keep it and search for another sacrificial lamb outta my collection. I kinda got distracted by what "might be" with the trade angle and lost sight of the purpose of selling it to begin with...which is the need to whittle down this seemingly insurmountable pile of medical bills.
