Post by stretch2011 »

Hand built the cabinet myself and tolex'd it. Wired it with a little help from a friend. Cts double cone speaker and deluxe reverb trannies.

Nice tweedy bird. This being Amp Garage, without gutshots, it does not exist. :wink:

You have GOT to be kidding. What about all the "gut" shots? (I mean, seriously, round bellies bulging into the photos...)


Nice gut shots, BTW, Stretch!

Nice job. 5E3 is a great amp. I hope you enjoy it.

That wire nut needs to go IMO.

Where I have the fan wired in with the other negative and power trannie it just made it easy. Agreed tho it could've been done better.

I'm 5'11 and 145lbs. That explains why my big feet show instead haha.
