forget tweed..here is my paisley prototype

I have been planning an amp build (settled on a Pro 5?5 of some version) and while sourcing parts and wood put together this little deluxe prototype with some fabric from my wife and old pine I had lying around. Now that I have the cabinet...I may as well build a 5E3 to go into it.....so the Pro will have to wait.
:lol:

Niiiiice. Are you treating the fabric with anything? Laquer?

I've been thinking of going with some wild fabric for my upcoming (when I have a spare second) 5F1.

I used my usual amber flakes in alcohol shellac and then sealed it with a bit of poly...I will save my nitro finish for the "Pro" build for full vintage sound...kidding!

Damn cool!!!

Not much work being done..or much guitar playing the last few weeks.
While travelling on my real job my father passed away so I had to hustle back home to Toronto.
He was 81 and lived life to the max so sudden exit is the way I hope to go also.
I have done a little work on my "deluxe" test build and here are the photos.
Baffle is baltic birch, a cheap Emminence Legend 1218, and 100 % linen grill cloth like the earliest tweeds.
I have most parts for the "brain" and once the hands settle down (too much Laphroig at the wake) I will get back on the projects I planned.
