Thanks, Carlo. That puts it in a slightly better light and there would be some added value to a Peter Cook fan, especially since it's a limited edition. But in the end it's still a parts guitar assembled and set up by Peter. And despite the Rosetti ad copy that these were assembled "using 100% USA Mighty Mite parts", I'm almost sure there were never any MIA Mighty Mite parts. The company is 100% American, the parts were MIK at the time (now made in Indonesia).

Just google 'Peter Cook Mighty Mite' and a lot of stuff comes up...including your PC under "Images".

I don't remember anything specific about these, Dave ... did he manufacture the body or is this an MM part too ... ?
Tags are the only significant item here, and only to a very specialised collector ...
This is how often his items appear on the 'bay, that's it ...

Who were the UK Gibson distributors during the 80's ... ? Anyone know ...?

Hi to all.

I see this has cropped up again. :)

Norlin, were the distributors.

Here's the bit about Peter and Gibson.

I have been VERY busy over the last 6 months but hope to be a more regular visitor, soon.

I have a BIG Flat Eric event, next Tuesday - Top Secret at the moment but I'll let you all know, as soon as
I am allowed to.

There, that'll keep you hanging on, for a while!!

Cheers. :)
Now a little more wiser. . . . .

Well I guess it's somewhat interesting that my Fenderbird has a Mighty Mite neck (MIK).  ;D
