Let's call'er a '63

[mojomike001]

No, this is not a genuine '63 or even a genuine Fender. It's something I put together beginning with a body in pale sonic blue and a neck by Mighty Mite. Mighty Mite really perfectly nails those Fender curves and radii and the finish is flawless. The electronics are EMG Geezer Butler. The tuners are Hipshot Ultralites. The weight is delightful at just a hair below 8 lbs without chrome covers and about 8 lbs 3 oz with both covers in place. So far so good. Now back to tweaking the setup...

That's cool

What are the specs on the neck

That really is nice

It's Mighty Mite P bass neck with a 9.5" radius and a 1 11/16" width at the nut. I used some classic oak shaded polyurathane to give the headstock a vintage look and I finished the back of the neck with Danish oil.

I put together something almost identical a few years ago. Refinished a Squier P body in Surf Green, added a 3 ply white PG, then added an AllParts neck with Hipshot Ultralites. Love those vintage pastel colors.

I love those old pastel shades as well. I painted and put together this shell pink P almost a year ago.
