What is this brand?

[ICTGoober]

It's says licensed by Fender, but I can't make out the brand name...

When did the logo change from the heart and lightning bolt?

 

[idsnowdog]

Since I don't know the history of their logo for necks I can't answer that. But I do know what you mean by the heart and lightning bolt.

 

[ErikH]

That's the older logo, I believe.

Here's another one with the same as in the OP photo. I saw one on a Euro site with a Charvel logo on the headstock too.

Older than when? The heart and lightning bolt is from the late 70's.

Do you have a dated example of the heart and lightning bolt marking on a MightyMite neck? Because I can't tell you WHEN or IF it changed if I never saw a heart and lightning bolt on their necks to begin with? Logo questions would be better asked of MightyMite themselves.

Mighty Mite is good stuff

They used that circular logo on their necks for ages, probably 10-15 years.

I think they only recently went back to the heart and lightning bolt on their newer, Indonesian-made stock.

 

[ICTGoober]

I emailed them and asked.... We'll see if they answer.

 

[beaubrummels]

With all your years of repair, I'm kind of surprised you haven't seen that one before. Amongst the forum, I would have tried to ask you first what it was.

I don't know everything, and consider myself an eternal student. Indeed - the day is not complete for me if I haven't learned something new.

Which is on the new website... What's old is new again?

+1

I've used them on all four DIY Teles and both DIY Strats.

The only caveats I have are that sometimes a little fret sprout needs addressing and that the nuts are often a little too high, but nothing an extra $15 or so on Tusq nut doesn't sort out.

Mighty Mite is solid stuff.

Leave it to the cabinet makers. Use Scotchbrite.

Why? Like I said, I’ve never had any problems of any kind.
