Hello all! I was wondering how many of you have built the mj? Is the body
similiar to the sj only bigger? I know you've probably built a few Michael!
Anyway, let's see the mj's!

Who's coming out with the oxymoron line of guitars?

And in our boutique-budget series, be sure to check out the newly
introduced classic small-jumbo (not to be confused with SJ as in Southerner
Jumbo). This delicate powerhouse is also available as acoustic/electic.
