rich315 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi al, just bought a Mighty Mite body and neck, and have problem with the trem i had already had, it doesnt fit!! the 6 screw holes dont align properly sizes are as follows ; distance between holes 11.5mm (centre to centre) Trem cavity - 80mm x 21mm the trem i have isnt an orginal fender one which i presume is where the problem lies... does anybody know where i can find one which will fit this, i have tried ebay but dont want to shell out cash for something that wont fit.... again Also, the nut on the neck, how do i replace this as it is showing signs of wear and whats best method or type of nut to use.

Traveler Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Rich, just a suggestion.....fill the holes in the body with epoxy and then redrill using your bridge base plate as a template, mark the correct screw locations and drill. I like to use a fast 5 or 10 min. epoxy as you can work with it in about an hour upon full cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich315 Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 yer i was thinking of doing that, the only thing is that shouldt the trem block be tight in top and bottom of the hole though ( i know when filled and drilled it will secure it) but i would have thought it would need to sit tight in there.... the springs would hold it obviously but i didnt want to have to mess about with drilling etx on this one as its got a brilliant blue sunburst on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Fill the holes with wood, not epoxy. Wood and epoxy, fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich315 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 but what about the gap between trem block and the routed part... does this not matter? as al my others sit tightly into there... this one doesnt there is about 10mm of movement, also how do i change the nut o nthe neck (never had to before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
