How did you do such fine lettering on the faceplate?

I thought Spalted Maple was a soft wood and prone to damage.

How's it holding up? Do you take it out at all?

Howdy all! I'm new here. I heard about this forum from some gents in The Gear Page, they suggested I root around in here to pick up info for my first 'wreck build. Sadly, I didn't realize till reading these forums that Ken was no longer with us. I hear he was a cool cat, and someone I'd love to have...

If I get the missing/defective parts from Nik, I'll be showing off my build soon. But I have a feeling it will take a week before I get these two little parts.

It's difficult getting all that mess around the octal tubes nice and clean, isn't it? Yours looks better then mine, fo sho.

Happy Thanksgiving All!

Remember to be thankful for what you have!

I replaced my Strat neck with a Warmoth 24 3/4" scale neck (short fingers :oops: ) with 10"/16" radius. I love it.

I'm no LP expert, but in the same boat as you as a matter of fact. Funny thing I went with a PRS instead back in the early 90s. And when I got bored of that and sold it, I've since been playing a somewhat rare Joe Satraini model Ibanez that's naked mohogany with dual humbuckers in the sexy curvy bod...

Beautiful workmanship.

Too much going on there that I don't understand (yet).

I didn't realize they did that. I'll contact them, that may help, Thanks!

You can sorta see one of the caps in question poking through in this shot on the bottom right:

I wish I had documented more of my amps this way!

I have an old '62 Magnatone I actually pulled out of someones trash...had the original tubes in it and all (kinda rough cosmetically). After a little cleaning it played well, but I know I really should be replacing those filter caps...I'm starting to get volume drops and other oddities. I'm torn bet...

Much Thanks Blues Hound!

racerx23: I got the Filter Caps from Allied Electronics, same place I got the Mallory PVC caps. Everything else came from Mouser or Billy. Steve Steve, do you have part numbers for the Filter Caps and the Mallory PVC caps you used? I have a Ceriatone kit on the way, completely unassmbled so I can u...
