My only comment is that their website contains an image of a pneumatic nurse is white fishnets leaning provocatively towards the camera.

God bless the political correctness movement...

Never tried their stuff, but I've always had the impression it's probably pretty good for the price. 

Their website is totally devoid of useful information, unfortunately.

I put together a strat type guitar from mighty mite body and neck, the whole thing turned out great. I bought my stuff from 'warpdrive' arrived in the UK after 6 days of ordering.

All of the fittings were bought from Axes R Us, trem direct from Trev Wilkinson, pickup in these photo's is a Bill Lawrence L500-XL fully sheilded. It's had many different pickups in!

I made one too from a Mighty Mite neck and body,  I originally had a L-500L in it, but it was too bright and icepicky, a SD custom custom was too mushy, and the Dimarzio Super 3 was just right!  I've got split/serial/parallel options on mine.
Planet waves locking tuners picked up on ebay for something like £15, bridge is a gotoh wilkinson from ebay for around £25.

Loving that white strat, pete :) I'm tempted to get a MM neck for my old strat body some time. Do they come pre-drilled or do you have to do that yourself?

Pete,

How does that 500xl sound in that strat? Is it alder?

Post by: Pete24v on July 05, 2009, 09:56:44 PM

It's an ash body, came undrilled, i actually drilled thru the body when doing the 2nd trem post.. was so careful doing the 1st!!

The L500-XL is the best of the bunch, tried a BKVHII, dimarzio Fred, SD CC, SD JB, Bulldog hot PAF... i have the same pup in my N4 paddy and it works well for me, you can simply hear all the notes no matter how much gain/volume/other cr@p is put onto it... It's a 'Bill&Becky' L500-XL

Thinking it needs some EVH strpes next....

Thanks. Yeah I've got an alder strat that need a bridge pup. I was planning on a SD CC before considering BKP's, but the Bill/Becky has been on my mind's backburner for a while.. Since ash and alder have somewhat of the same tonal qualities, I'm sure it would still sound good.

Where does one go to buy a mighty mite body and neck? Can't see a thing on their website.
