Oh! If I didn’t work out of a brick and mortar guitar shop I probably would be f****d

Now.. if you have any constructive criticism or direction on the build... I’m all ears Sluckey

No. The fact that you don't have a clue what you are doing means your customers are f**ked! Think about it. It's one thing to not know when you are a hobbyist. It's incompetence when you have customers.

Sometimes it just needs to be said.

Thanks for the pictures. Don't take this as an insult. Those solder joints look really bad. I'd watch some soldering videos on youtube. A simple search reveals many: youtube.com soldering videos.
Then I'd practice until I was able to produce a good soldering connection. Then I'd reflow all of the solder joints. The chassis connections will need a high capacity soldering iron to generate the heat needed for the connection.




At one time all of us here had to learn good soldering techniques. My first project was a Heath Kit solid state guitar amp. I used acid core solder and didn't know how to get good flow. Disaster. Never got it working and the circuit board corroded from the acid core solder. Next Heath Kit project: A 5 mhz Oscope. Turned out much better as I had gotten my first tech job and learned how to solder.


Now if I could just do the same with copper pipe.
