Shell Pink! Not perfect but better than my last effort at spraying nitro, and a million times nicer than the yuck poly that was on there previously.

nice, not very loud for an amp though I imagine.

Oh guitars are purely decorative for me. I think strings ruin the aesthetics.

Re: Whats on your amp workbench?
Is the amp behind the guitar or within the cavity?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

It's actually an acoustic. If you strum hard enough.
(And have strings on it)

Is that a euphemism?

Re: Whats on your amp workbench?
Loosely based on a '39 Gibson eh185. Donor chassis did PA duties in the 40s at a country dance hall. It had been sitting in a farm shed for decades and was full of mouse piss and spiderwebs.
Power transformer is American as are the sockets. They came up good with a clean and test.
I have a 40s em Jensen speaker to go with this. The field coil has been rewound by a radio friend and will be a good match for the amp.
Tube lineup 5z3, 6j7, 6n7, 6l6, 6l6.
Aiming to have this and a few others finished for gearfest.
