The neck and vibrato arrive tomorrow, apparently. These are the last two pieces. Assuming the neck fits, it's 100% GO TIME!
I am very excited. Going to be a fun weekend

The neck and vibrato are here. That's EVERYTHING.
This afternoon will be a date with the sanding block, and I should be able to start painting tomorrow!
It's all starting to come together, finally.
Here is a new mock up with the real neck and vibrato:
How much better is that neck colour? hahah. It feels really nice too, no sharp fret ends, etc.
I'm assuming that's the Might Mite neck with the lighter maple colour?
This looks like one to watch. It really says something different while echoing some iconic guitar profiles. Sold. Where can I buy one?

Yeah always nice to see something a bit different. I find the proportions a little odd on this one, but I'm interested to see it finished up.
Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1

Yeah, I always liked the Telemaster style guitars, so went with a Tele headstock on this one. I did put the strat style one from my JZ-1 on it just to have a look and it looked great. I think it would look great with the 70s headstock.
And yeah, it’s a mighty mite from StewMac.
Today is spray day. Yay!
The blue has turned out different than I expected. I think I still like it, but it’s not as baby blue as I thought it would be. Has more grey in it, and it’s a tad darker. I tried to take a pic but the lights in my garage were misrepresenting it. I’ll take pics in the morning.
Ok. It’s the next day and I was still disappointed with the blue.
Then I had a brainstorm.
No, that is not a reflection. I have sprayed clouds onto the blue.
Now when I look at it I smile and get excited. So much happier.
Might call it the Skycaster or Skymaster or something. Heh.
