Second Purchase $130.49 (Total: $241.46)

On February 8th 2013 I purchased a Mighty Mite Fender replacement guitar body with a black finish from MusciansFriend.com.  If you have followed my posts before you know that I have acquired a lot of experience finishing guitar bodies.  I also have a good feel for how much this process costs.  And there was no way I could buy a unfinished body and finish it for under $140.  So the decision was made to go with this already finished model.  I couldn't be happier, it is beautiful.

Now there is a difference to note here; David Gilmour's black strat is mode of alder wood and the body I purchased is made from swamp ash. Purists have probably left the site already but, honestly I seriously doubt that I would be able to tell the difference tonally. In all reality a majority of a guitar player's tone comes from the hands.

The total cost of this purchase including shipping, tax and promotional coupon code that saved me $20 came to $130.49, bringing my total purchase cost to date $241.46.
