Don"t be scared!

The headstock is a simple decal I put on all of them. I bass player friend designed it for me.

Just saw this. Great job! I have considered giving it a try!

I'm sorry man, I'm old. You lost me on that one!

Yessir! Curly mango binding. I have a facebook page for them . KW guitars I've built around 15 of them in different styles. This was my first time for abalone. It really dresses things up and is not any harder to work with than wood marquetry.

I now build acoustic guitars. This is a 00-12 fret with a redwood top and granadillo back and sides.

I paralleled with a 68k because I had one. No squeal. I think I will leave the primaries there.

Is there a sure fire way to know if the primaries are in the correct place? The leads are still long if that matters. Thank You for your time and input Martin!

Blue to red is 115.4 ohm brown to red is 105.2. I have not disconnected red from the amp but would not think that would matter. 12/115=.104 which is twice what the 1ohm is telling me.

I swapped the primaries. No squeal and the presence might be working a bit but very subtle. I still get a 12v drop from ct to pin 3 which seems high. The E series Fenders have the choke in a bit of a strange place. Could that be affecting my readings?

You know I have wondered about the OT primaries. The amp does not squeal but my presence knob does not seem to do anything. I may switch them and see if that changes. Yes I would like to cool the bias down some. I will have to make some circuit adjustments. Currently using a 56k in series with a 10k...

Hey ya'll, I have not been here in a while. I stopped building amps a started building acoustic guitars. I decided I just had to have a tweed Bandmaster. Trying to get my brain back into tube amps. I am having trouble with bias. B+ is 419vdc with a gz34. I measure 52mv across a 1ohm resistor on pin ...

If you haven't played around with tube HiFi,you are missing out. Harmon Kardon Citation V for me. I built a tube preamp from Tubenirvana. Cerwin Vega speakers although I will end up with some KLIPCSH hopefully soon. Old Dynaco stuff is readily available and won't break the bank.

It seems strange that a Deluxe reissue would need filter caps already. I used to have a $50 bench fee that was also the first hour If I got the job. I then was $45 an hour. There is no reason not to have a mark up on parts. It's how service and retail make money. We all deserve to make a living if w...

Boy do you build. I just checked out you web page. Nice!
