My style is Rock/Pop like Third Eye Blind, I originally heard about MJ guitars when I tried to find out what kind of guitar Kevin Cadogan of 3eb used, this guitar is awesome it fits my style perfectly. Not noisy at all. Rich full cutting sound, tele twang, very bright. This guitar can go from bright crystal clear clean highs to deep down distortiony lows. I really love this guitar I am currently saving for a MJ rally!
Action, Fit, & Finish

the set up was Flawless, Mark Johnson personally does the set up before shipping the guitar. The pickups were ajusted flawlessly. Everything about the top was perfect, the finish is simply glassy. the bridge was setup perfect. Nothing about this guitar was nothing short of perfect.
Reliability/Durability

yes this guitar would withstand live playing. I would bring a backup just in case. The hardware seems like it will last and if it doesn't Mark Johnson gave me a lifetime warranty on it. The finish is awesome. The strap buttons are locking buttons and are nothing short of great. This guitar is very dependable. I would probably still bring my epiphone dot for a good humbucker sound. Thats until I save enough for a Rally.

Mark Johnson makes every guitar himself. And It shows in the craftsmanship and look of every guitar he puts out. I talked to him numerous times. Because Each guitar is custom. You can have any type of finish, and option available. Lifetime Warranty. I haven't had to get it repaired. I'm sure I would have to send it to Mark to get it repaired though.
Overall Rating

I have been playing for about two years. I have an epiphone dot electric. This guitar was what I wanted I like the Tele style. If this guitar were stolen I would probably cry because it took me so long to save for it.(poor college kid)But I would probably just save some more and buy another. I really want to get a Rally now. I compared this guitar to a MJ Mirage Rally with two tele pickups and a Humbucker. I love this guitar and do not hate anything about it. I can 't think of anything I wish this guitar had. Mj Guitars are the best. I don't think I will ever get another run of the mill guitar again.
