Woah, what a response! I wasn't expecting this. Thanks! That's
really amazingly flattering.
Phil, I have some pics here: http://www.languagepool.net/amp/
You'll notice that I rewired it a few times trying to get it right.  You
haven't heard about it because I finished it in August. I don't know why I
never took a picture. I haven't added it up, but I believe it probably cost
in the $650 range realistically, with about $200 in questionable decisions,
like getting the wrong tolex the first time, thus doubling expensive
shipping fees. Etc.
Don, I'd love to record it. I'd rather not have a computer mic recording,
so when I get an interface or find one to borrow, I'll hook some mics in
and record with my friend Dave. I've never found the recordings people
put on the internet very helpful for me. They usually seem abnormally
dry and musically random. I'd rather have a recording with some context,
you know? The pictures show that I have the speaker out, but just to
make it lighter. For screws and it's back in. You can also see the two
holes in the grill cloth from my first batch of screws that were too long.
And Don, I don't think I've ever had a project followed here. Thanks!
John, I play a tele into it. It has a Van Zandt pickup in the bridge and a
Fralin in the neck. The dream guitar for me would be a 335. The thicker
sound for blues and if I ever play jazz again (probably won't), shorter
scale, and great sound for the texture type playing I do on electric.
John, I didn't even know people without degrees in electronics could do
this until we were talking on the phone and you mentioned it. That
actually planted the seeds in me to get back into this stuff.
I'll stress that it sounds really good. It's nothing to do with me - I
just connected the dots available at trinityamps.com. You can also read
their forum to see the problems I had and how they were solved.
Thanks again! They're pretty easy to do but not cover.

), so I'm going to build a cabinet and put it back together. Thanks for some cool cabinet ideas!
