Hope your selling them - they are beautiful.

A bigger nameplate will help your name to be seen better when getting artist stage shots.

I like it a lot!!  Who does those nameplates for you?  Are your front and back panels plexi or metal?

on this one the back is just like the back of a marshall head. On the custome heads that have the smokey plexi on front, I dont use a back I leave em open . Like the orange one on the site has no back .

No, I was hoping you did.  We've got some real pro places around here, but they're just too expensive.  I've explored probably all of the online resources, too, and I haven't found one that can make me something that isn't either square or rectangular without taking my head off on the cost.  One of these days I'll make a real push to do this stuff right and I'll fork it over then.  As long as I have to wrestle a day job and put out low-volume sideline work, I'll bide my time and keep on the lookout.

Thanks!

Hi

Your amps do look great! That's a good build standard there.
Love the knobs - where did you get them?

Cheers

My thought exactly.....maybe a big'ol "SURREAL" would do the trick?

Beautiful, as usual Jerry!

Jerry,
Man I love that cabinet - it looks like the OLD Marshall cabs.  I'm not sure about using the cloth on the head.  I think dark tolex would make not only your gold logo pop, but also your gold faceplate.  I know, I know, you probably wanted to get away from the "Marshall" clone look!  How close is your pilot light to the end of the chassis?  It looks a little crowded so maybe a little wider in the opening?  I am being picky, because this is one beautiful package!

To quote one of my fav bands of yesteryear - Chilliwack....

"People run like tired lemmings headed for the sea..."

But hey!  Good construction and quality builds are TIMELESS!!! :grin:
