MJ (Mark Johnson) Mirage 1995 – Cherry Red – New Old Stock / Unplayed – USA Boutique – OHSC

1995 MJ (Mark Johnson) Mirage – New Old Stock – Unplayed – Original Case

Up for sale is a rare and exceptionally clean MJ Mirage, built in 1995 and preserved in true new old stock condition. This guitar comes from a family-owned music store and has remained unsold and stored in a case for over 25 years.

This is not a reissue or a played example—this is essentially a time capsule piece from a boutique American builder.

MJ (Mark Johnson) guitars were handcrafted in Santa Rosa, California in limited numbers and are known for their unique designs, high-quality construction, and under-the-radar boutique appeal.

There is light oxidation on some metal hardware from age and long-term storage, which is purely cosmetic and typical for a 25+ year-old instrument.

The guitar has been:

• Cleaned
• Restrung
• Lightly polished

All parts remain 100% original with no modifications

This example appears to be a solid-body Mirage (no f-holes or semi-hollow indicators). As with many boutique MJ builds, there may be internal weight relief, but there is no evidence of a true semi-hollow design.

Freshly set up and playing great. Smooth neck, low action, and strong resonance. Ready to go as a player or to remain a collector-grade piece.

MJ guitars don’t come up often—and finding one in unplayed, new old stock condition is even rarer. This is a unique opportunity to own a boutique U.S.-made instrument with both collector appeal and real-world playability.

Due to the age all sales are final and no warranties apply.
