Yeah, it is really. I just love tweed amps. Mine is great the way it is- it would be dumb to change it.
Tweed guitar then, that's got to look epic, right?

What Ben really needs is a nice sea blue/green guitar. (But he can't have one of mine!)

Hell! He got round the edges! I was thinking it would need a Danelectro style band to cover the join.

And a second one done with old Levis. :thumbup:

Come on over for a look, bring a beer or two and we can sit out on the back porch comparing the 2 tweeds I have with yours :) Oh god I live in remmers not mississippi. I'll be talking catfish and grits next.
Deal. I'm 50/50 about it TBH- I do love the surf green. It's sounding utterly spectacular at the moment.
Don't do it! That surf green is great!
Larrivee 00 Acoustic. FAV Strat for electric. Ibanez SDGR5 for bass. Push for Ableton. When not doing that, 3D CAD for tunnels...
