A work in progress

[jgcable]

MightyMite body, ash with a flame maple top, late 80's Fender Japanese 22 fret maple slabboard strat neck, Duncan Invader, Chrome pickup bezel, vintage Fender trem, 1 volume, straplocks. It went together great. The neck pocket is as tight as a frogs ass. It is about as heavy as an old Lynch ESP. I am awaiting a Charvel brass string tree button so I can get rid of the old Fender series 1 string lock nut (I am using it as a string tree now) and a brass volume knob to replace the Fender one. The action is stupid low (I am working on my legato with it) with no buzz anywhere and it has a very balanced tone with more bottom than most of my other guitars. Strung up with 10's it is a real monster. Later on.. plans include an eventual scallop, 8-42 gauge strings and a 2nd neck hum route for another Invader. I am gonna gig with it a few times as a back up.

Re: A work in progress

awesome job.

do you think the body is decent quality?

i was thinking about buying one of these to make a tele/ or strat, and getting a decent fender neck.

Yes, it is extremely well made. With the right neck you will have a very nice guitar. I always liked MightyMite stuff. Especially their bodies.

I see a Tascam CDGT1 in that pic. How do you like it? Oh and sweet looking fiddle too. How did the neck fit the pocket?

How much did you pay for the Mighty Mite body? Looks pretty cool but I was always a little weary of Mighty Mite's stuff, although their "Jackson neck" that I often see on Ebay is tempting to buy.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Tascam is totally awesome. If they only had stuff like it when I was learning to play. It does EVERYTHING that it claims to do. I don't use the guitar signal processor part of it though. There is nothing better if you are trying to learn fast tough leads. You can slow them down to a snails pace and they stay in the original key. There is a little mud at the slowest setting but it is so darn useful. The neck fit so tight that I had to sand the amber finish off of the heel of the neck. It slid right in with absolutely no gap at all. It almost looks like a neckthru it is so tight. The quality of the Mightymite body is right up there with all the other high end strat body builders. It is beautiful.
