Pics of my Weber 5e3x2 kit.

If I decide to keep it I'll stain the tweed a bit darker. It's just as delivered.

I should say that the Sprague Atoms are not part of the kit. I bought them through Antique Electronics:

Lots of amp help, especially 5e3, can be found here:

Thats 1st. Class, you lucky dog. BTW, I dig that wrap around bridge, '53,huh?

 

[TT100]

Thanks!

Actually that's a '54 Historic. There may have been a little overlap in specs between '53 & '54 but the '53's had a trapeze tailpiece that wrapped under and a very shallow neck angle. In '54 they went to the stud or "wraptail" on the Goldtop but introduced the Custom "Black Beauty" with a Tune-o-Matic, and in '56 the Goldtop got the ToM as well.

Great guitar that smokes with this amp!

Hey - That rig looks familiar!

That's my '54 with my 5E3 w/ the 15" Jensen. Awsome combination!!!!

Nice family photo!

Now you have me thinking. I love a guitar through a 15" speaker. First thing I do when I get home is check to see if a 15 will fit in the 5e8 cab! Might save me from buying a Tweed Pro kit next.

(I'm seriously gassing for a DR.)

These P90 Goldtops are fantastic guitars aren't they? Mine's an '01 reissue I bought from a LPF forum bro. It came to me with Lindy Fralin P90s & Alessandro branded pots and caps. (probably CTS pots and Jensen foil in oil caps) The best electric I've owned.

Tell me more...

How's that baby sound? Are you happy with the quality of the kit from Weber? I've been thinking of ordering their low power tweed twin kit-but wasn't sure of the quality, I know it's much cheaper than some of the other suppliers. Thanks, Joel

Ya how does that Sound?

Nice job putting it together, how does she sound? I had read a comment from Bruce that it has a bit more headroom than a 5e3.

Lance, for some reason I like that picture of yours!

 

[Lance]

Heee Heee

I like this!!! Yup - that's the money shot!

3rd time's lucky: How's it sound?

TT100, thanks for posting the pics! It looks great, really nice job. Where's the transformer from?

But most of all – how does it sound? How would you compare it with a "regular" 5E3? Thanks again, CS

Beautifull!

After posting what seemed like a million "what amp sould I buy" posts, that has me convinced. I'm going to order one of those Weber kits tomorrow! Oh- I love those 54's, but does that mean you DON'T OWN A TELE!!!!!??????? Just asking. Thanks for posting the pics!

And btw, WHAT??!! Does EVERYONE have a tweed, a strat, a tele and a P90 goldtop?

So much for being YEW-NEEK.
