Thundergod Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm using them on my custom tele right now and they look nice and work just fine. They are like a mix between schaller and dunlop, best of both worlds. Is anyone else familiar with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KL Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I haven't heard the name Mighty Mite for years . . . didn't know they were still in business. Are they new or old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 New. Mighty mite is still in business, guitar parts and such, all made in china I think, but what's not these days? AXE if Fred approves the use of them I'll get them for all my axes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 By the way I'm liking the looks of them, here are some pics, they look better than dunlops and schallers IMO, as schallers have that unconfortable round thing sticking out and dunlops are just plain huge and ugly. Don't mind the tex-mex strap, it was made by a friend and it's really confortable (100% leather and hand made). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I suffer from SIB when it comes to strap locks - Schaller Induced Blindness. Haven't seen anything in 20 years that makes me want to change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Swleary: They give Slashtone Dub-T-123: That DiMarzio? I don't remember what it was, I'm a dimarzio dealer now and that one was one of the first to be sold, I think it was a paf joe, and the guy bought it and was going to install it himself in some guitar whe didn't care to talk about. Fred (61, not that other Fred): Those mighty mite straplocks, I'm a mighty mite dealer now too so I get them directly from them, they are about 14 bucks... I saw them at a store for 18. Neo: all my other guitars have schallers and this one had them too (in gold) but I think black gives that particular strap a little better look so I installed those mighty mites and they do their job just fine.

NeoConMan Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 So, you unscrew it to remove the strap while holding the threaded piece in your hand? Don't drop it on a dark stage.... Looks similar to what Gretsch puts on their guitars from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Whew, I just about lost my Special SL! I removed the Schaller straplocks and did the screw through the washer thing. Apparently, the straplocks' screw is bigger and the stock screw loosened itself and almost pulled completely out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think pics will illustrate it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
