Hey there. I live in Michigan and have been building my guitar setup throughout the years. A few years ago I acquired my first Telecaster, so I guess I'm overdue for joining here. A couple of years ago I checked out General Guitar Gadgets and began building pedal kits and it has gone on from there. Just a couple of weeks ago I completed a Weber 5E8A Tweed Twin kit with a few variations like KT66s, bias pot and some value tweaks. Here's a selected list of my guitar gear just so I can have fun nerding out on my inventory. Below that is a picture I took the other day at my practice space(please ignore the exterior appearance of my amp and cabinet as it's not 100% done :grin: ):

Guitars:
Fender Deluxe Nashville Telecaster MIM
Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe Reissue MIM
Fender Stratocaster MIM (First real axe my parents bought me when I was 14)
Epiphone Les Paul 7 String
Squier Bullet 20th Anniversary beater (Sanded down and will be modded with a pedal put inside at some point for fun)

Effects:
GGG Alembic Stratoblaster Clone(First whack at building a kit)
Digitech Whammy Reissue
78/79(?) Triangle Big Muff
GGG BSIAB II Distortion w/contour option
Ernie Ball Volume/Pan
EH Memory Toy Delay
Hardwire Stereo Reverb(used primarily for reverse reverb setting)
BBE Sonic Stomp
Digitech XP300 Space Station

Also in the process of modding an Electro Harmonix Russian Big Muff. It's one of the last Russian versions with a black exterior and yellow print. Found an article on Premier Guitar where Brian Wampler listed some mods to try out.

Amplifiers:
Weber 5E8A '57 Low Powered Tweed Twin through a Celestion loaded 4x12
Acoustic 150 with matching 6x10 cab (Haven't researched production year)
1962 Kay 504 (Awesome little studio guy. Thanks craigslist!)
Epiphone Valve Junior (Modded)

Welcome to the TDPRI. I've learned a lot from everyone here, I'm sure you will too. Looks like you can share a lot of knowledge also, from your builds. Looking forward to hearing about your Squire bullet, pedal project. Peace.

I have never once taken my close proximity to Elderly Instruments for granted. :smile: I've lost track of so many hours in that place...
