Are you taking orders Beeg? I could do with an amp head for my Lonestar--it is too 'effin heavy as it is! It's in a 2x12 combo at present...

Does not need to be tweedified, black tolex for the match.

Looks really good :thumbup:
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Blimey, that's the Beegz knees!
Crafty bugger you are. Unusual for a propeller head (you are in IT right?) to have two right hands :wink:

Hoping that the window sills came out as nicely as this...

Yeah, but I served my time as a fitter/turner so that helps ;) before moving through engineering, electrical engineering to programming :D I like to keep my skills updated :D

erm, the windows didn't get finished though the guttering did :)

and thank you :)
