That is one of my favorite guitars leaning up my favorite amp ever. :)

true, EZ- almost makes me want to ^&**&(

What's better, though, is that this is not a poll of who wants something other than something I can actually use... when I actually get the steps

hot dang :) :)

not sure if goldtopchas edited that in after you said that or you're just slow.

Any more progress on the cab?
 
I got sidetracked today. I'll work on it tomorrow.If I make much progress, I'll post another pic.

Thanks for the interest. It's cool having someone to share this stuff with.
The wife acts like I'm building a birdhouse or something. "..are you done with "your thing" yet?" They just don't understand.

I'm sure your and my wife would enjoy a 'romantic comedy' somewhere...

I want wood!
 
...a little progress

Cleats and baffle board.
Got some new nickle corners coming from E-bay...
Searching for cheap grille cloth. Any suggestions?? I'm on a VERY low budget with this project.
 
Go to ...


www.mojotone.com

Look for the 'Surplus' page....(over on the right side.......small print...)


Grill cloth, and other stuff there is a good deal....
 
Got some coarse linen material at Wal mart. $2.74 a yard!! Gonna actually look pretty cool. Almost looks like "salt and pepper" grille cloth.
It's lighter weight than I would like, but I think I'll double it over before I staple it on....and at that price I can get extra and put it away in case I need to replace it in the future.

You gotta love "redneck Macy's."
 
well..

I bought a burlap sack for 79 cents to use for grille cloth on one of my projects... haven;t got a chance to actually build the cab yet, though....

About that pic you posted....

How big is that hole?
 
That's for a 15" speaker. ...yeah, I know. All my player friends are giving me that "dogs head cocked sideways" look of dismay. I just wanted to try it. I left enough room for the baffleboard to be swapped out for a 10"and 12" if I don't like it. It's an old yorkville alnico that was used in a traynor guitar amp.
E-bay $20.00 inc. shipping ( told you I was cheap...er..uh...on a low budget with this project.)

It might sound cool....or not. We'll see.
 
Making some progress...

grill and baffleboard done, a few coats of danish rubbing oil
 
Needs a few finishing touches..nickle corners, a handle, speaker and back panels, reverb tank. wiring.
 
that looks sweet. do you really have to put the nickel corners on it? it looks great as is.
 
Thanks...

I thought about skipping the corners too. But It's made out of pine. It's too soft to go without them. I think it really could use the protection.

Gonna' have to make a decent padded cover for it too.

Yea, that makes sense. It does look nice without though. What are gonna make the cover out of?
 
Haven't figured that one out yet. Cheap "pleather" from Walmart and some thin padding inside I guess.
 
I see a circular saw in one of the pics. Did you cut this thing up with a circular saw?
