Here's a Partscaster that I just completed using some spare parts I had kicking around and some new stuff. It's got a MIM body, bridge and saddles, a Mightymite V-neck, Schaller tuners, GFS Texas Grey bottom pups, Sprague caps, Alpha pots and a GFS brass trem block.

I just got it together this week and the set-up is about 90% where I want it. A little more fiddling and it should play really nice. It sounds pretty sweet and I'm really loving the v-profile neck. For 90 bucks, that Mighty Mite neck is crazy-nice!

Here she is...

Nice job! Sometimes those partscasters are some of the best players.

Very "Gilmour-esque".

Nice.

Rawk on!

That's a nice partscaster right there. I've got two partscasters with Mighty Mite necks and I've found them to be really stable, solid and well-built. For the price there's nothing to beat them.

I put a mighty mite v neck on a esquire I built and also love it. They are great for the money

I've always heard mixed reviews in Mighty Mite necks, but I thought I would take a shot and I am very impressed. This neck holds its own against Allparts and Warmouth necks that I have used in the past and at about a third of the cost! Very pleased.
