That is super-cool
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

That is super nice. Love the colour!! Any thoughts on swapping out the PG to something a little more in keeping with the relic'd look?
Congrats!

Out of interest, is that natural or accelerated reliving? Asking because it looks great.

No relicing on the sofa but some mild work on one of the cushions.
