I'm a little concerned about the tuner holes.
I had a hell of a time getting the bushing into my Warmoth Boatneck, which was drilled to 11/32". I did not know at the time that I should expect to have to ream them.
This specs for this say 13/32".
Overall, any opinions about Mighty Mite necks?

11/32" is a direct fit for Gotoh vintage style tuner bushings. They'll press right in.
I'd expect 13/32" to be loose and require conversion bushings.
What type of tuners are you planning to use?
The tuners I have are from, I believe, a Fender Classic.
I think that means they Ping Kluson knock-offs.
Would conversion bushing requite even further reaming?
To make up just a 1/16" in diameter, including the ribs on the OD, a bushing would have a really thin wall.

StewMac sells conversion bushings for 3/8" (12/32") and 10.5mm (approx. 13/32) diameter holes.
I press tuner bushings in with a padded Quick-Grip bar clamp.
