There is a sticky in the Garage forum called "Guitar Gallery - Post'em up!" where a lot of folks here have posted pictures of their guitars. I am sure all of us would love to see your builds (I know I would).

Great looking amp you've built there!

Cheers,

That should be a great sounding amp. Enjoy!

mojotone - tolex color = wine taurus (buggy whip) - grillcloth = oxblood w/silver stripe. They had a "free custom selections" promo
the sound is fantastic!

It could be, I have that book also.

But I have a large data base of all kinds of schematics from different sources.

I think it most certainly is. The Pittman book is nice to have; I was just flipping through my copy over the holidays for the first time in a long while. It's getting a bit dated in one or two areas, like current production vacuum tubes, and of course it comes from the founder of Groove Tubes...
