Man, those Splawn cabs are pretty. The tolex on the corners is so perfect, I thought for a minute it was a spray coat. :thu:

Good eye - it is spray coated :D

I had the cabinets coated with duratex. Splawn has a special method of application that makes it look like tolex :)

If weight equals inferiority then you would be right - those cabinets weigh just as much as I do :lol:

Yeah the Ibby finish I am responsible for. Took the guitar completely apart and spent quite a few hours bringing the finish back up to a mirror shine. It was part of a collection fromf a store owner in SC. I did an even trade with another guitar, and gave it some TLC. It now has a JB in the bridge, PAF in the neck. One of the best playing guitars in the lot :)

Thanks man :)

Amps aren't really all that special. 5150 II that is far from stock, and a low serial number '94 mesa Tremoverb. I did gut the 5150 II and turned it into a 2 channel amplifier. Currently working on a lead volume/gain boost design to replace the crunch channel. I much preferred the lead channel gain turned down for crunch. Sounds good.

The tremoverb is under the knife. Designing a quad bias system and beefing up the power supply for quad KT88's. Improving a few designs, and currently board designing in what little free time I have.
