These have been delayed on the last two shipments but have finally arrived. With the same grip friendly heavy knurl as our dome top knobs these are slightly taller with a flat top for a slightly different look – check out the comparison picture below. Once again available in chrome and nickel they […]

for end of line and clearance deals. Added this afternoon are B-Stock Custom Blank Telecaster Control Plates. These have minor plating imperfections and/or light surface scratches. No photos yet as I haven‘t been able to get the blemishes to show in pics (which gives you some idea of how minor they are) but I shall […]
Mighty Mite raised the prices on all products this year (twice on some lines) and we have reluctantly had to pass that on to our customers. We kept the prices at the pre-increase level until the stock on hand was sold. We still have pre-increase Telecaster bodies in stock and have decided that rather than […]
Do you know how hard it is to photograph nickel hardware? Well I do, which is why there are no pictures of the new hardware yet – tomorrow is do-over day! As mentioned yesterday we now have a selection of nickel hardware. Fender spec control plates, neckplates, electrosockets and Wilkinson vintage Telecaster bridges. Unfortunately the […]
By the time the plug cutter set arrived I had almost finished the body – it was ready for wax. With the plug cutter in my drill press I set about cutting plugs (surprise surprise) from a hard ash blank. At this point I learned something new: plug cutters DO NOT like hard woods! Eight […]
This build was a snap decision last weekend. I have had this Mighty Mite MM2705A body laying around for a while. Not up to par to sell (the ferrule holes are at an angle and the neck mount holes out of line) it gave me an excuse for another build! I had attempted to plug […]
I have been meaning to write something about this pickup for a long time now – it has been in my US Std partscaster since January. I have a Tonerider Hot Classic in my Esquire #1 and I am very happy with it. I decided to sell the Keystones in my US Std partscaster and […]
After a bit of a delay we now have black Esquire pickguards back in stock. Direct replacement for Fender pickguards and the perfect blank canvas for custom pickup layouts. Thicker than vintage at 2mm to help prevent warping but with a straight edge for the vintage vibe. The cutout and thickness is a perfect match […]
A little delayed, but our hardware shipment is now here and all products posted in the store. Out of stock items are now in stock – Gretsch G Arrow knobs, nickel Wilkinson Deluxe Machine Heads, Wilkinson Vintage Telecaster bridges – and we have a few new items. (Sorry, not necks and bodies yet, they are […]
A little update on Esquire #1 after a week of living/playing. I’m still very happy with it! I’m used to my US Std partscaster at 8 1/2 lbs, so I thought the very light Esquire may feel like a toy. Not so. The weight is fantastic, and the guitar is well balanced. Like the US […]
