I really like it and adore the grill cloth you picked! My folks had some old speakers with that cloth that were just cool somehow! I like emblem position #1 as well. Thanks for keeping us posted!
This thing is going to look soooo cool! I hope you'll post some sound clips when you're done.

Well...Here is the semi finished cab along with my finished Chinese Strat that I setup like a Squier '51. I still have to mount the handle and amp bolt caps on the top, which I am going to wait to do until I get the mods done and quit taking the darn amp in and out. I need to install shielding on the inside of the upper cab as well, like the head had. I will be trying different speakers for a while so the back cover will be temporary.
I tried to use as many parts as I could from the Epiphone VJ head to keep costs at a minimum and to bring over as much flavor as I could from the original.
I have some of this tolex left is anyone is interested. The piece I have left is 38 inches by 105 inches.
My Hammond 125DSE transformer came in and I plan to put that in this week sometime. I am anxious to try it out with the transformer. Maybe I can put a clip together of some sort, I don't play very well yet so don't hold your breath I still have not been able to turn it up yet but look forward to it
It is hard to see the shade of vintage Marshall dark green tolex but I like it. I may end up getting a different piping and put it around the upper inside along with across the front like it is now. This piping is from the head cab. I need to find an upholstery shop around here. It would be too much with shipping on the web for such a cheap small piece.
I have a bunch of images to put up of putting the tolex on. I will get that up soon.
I hope ya like it

Looks awesome! When do we get to hear it?

Hello Robert,
Thank you for the kind words.
Well...my wife just had a surgery, my son is graduating, I have to have a surgery and with everyone at home for a while it is hard to do any recording or playing loud but I hope to slip some jammin in soon and I am sure I will find a slot to record something. I do want to wait till I get the transformer in though. I play all the time with the headphones on or with the guitar unamplified but it is hard right now to do anything loud
Hey that lesson on (Improve your phrasing with triads) is a lot of fun! I have been workin it over. Lots of new ideas flowing, thanks a million Robert!

M29 !!!! Holy Sheeeeite man ! that looks absolutely amazing !
Excellent.. a job well done.. awsome.. just awsome..
Thanks ted s I am glad you like it! It seems to be a good size but it is a bit on the heavy side, not something I wanted with a bad back. I do like it all in one though and I have the three speaker taps that the VJ combo don't have and with a 12 inch speaker as well. I'm happy now
Thanks again ted s

It really looks great M29.
I liked your idea of only using the Epi, but the angled epiphone has a nice vibe.
If you ever decided to make another one so you could play in stereo, then one could be Epi' & the other 'Phone.

WOW!!!!! Gorgeous job, M! You are a craftsman, sir!

Fantastic! If I ever need reconstructive surgery I think I'm going to talk to you first. I'll bet you can do a better job than almost any doctor.

Wow M29! The finished product is even better than I thought, and given your talents, I expected greatness. I LOVE that grill cloth!
