New(er) to me aftermarket body makers

[Messhead]

So I'm looking for a body to match a great Allparts neck I recently acquired.

I feel MJT and Bloomdoom are well established and I know I can trust ordering from them (which I have not done yet, but I feel I can safely).

I'm wondering who has experience with other body builders/importers/painters I am seeing. Tone Ninja in particular. I've just noticed them.

Also Real Life Relics and Guitar Flow.

Has anyone had any experience?

They’re all going to be decent or may require work to fit. For me personally I want a nitro finish without any polyurethane sealer. MJT and BloomDoom do that really well. Real life relics look cheesy to me and some with most other companies that are doing “nitro” finishes. They just don’t look right. They all kind of have a “relic a polyurethane finish” look.

I’m always looks for alternatives to MJT or BloomDoom just to save a bit on a project but haven’t really come across anyone doing them that saves money because the finish looks to much like plastic.

Appreciate the reply. I keep coming back to the same: wait a few paychecks more and go with one of those two.

I have an MJT body on my strat and it fit perfectly with a tight neck pocket, using a Warmoth neck. Fwiw, MJT sells on ebay so you can get a bit of a deal using that route. I bought mine for about $150 less than what it would've cost if I ordered it built from them. And since it was already built it was much quicker to arrive.

Yeah that’s the way to go!! I always loose out because I’m kinda cheap. Then end up ordering exactly what I want and it ends up way more expensive and way longer!! I have bought lots though from their eBay auctions.

Tone Bomb… Peter is the contact. Great stuff!! Their necks fit into each body I’ve order super tight like it should… great quality etc…and cheaper than warmoth
