Scary good guitarist and vocalist, and she's a nice kid too.

VERY nicely done! Congratulations.

I'm working on one right now, but it's going very slowly seeing as my down time is pretty much nonexistent these days. Two EF86's in the preamp, two dual tridodes for the PI and CF stage, and two 6L6s. Very bare bones to start with. If I like it, it may get a little more attention down the road.
