A new client brought in this Korean-made, Hamer double cutaway guitar. It badly needed a setup, and some electronics replaced. It’s all better now, but just might be the heaviest electric guitar I’ve held…!

Which wire goes to what….?
Customer brought us this FrankenCaster, indicating that the “tone” control didn’t work..! Ya think?!
Seems the previous owner added (hacked-up) every modification they could find. And, went all out by adding Scotch Tape to hold wires and insulate the various components. It’s all better now….🤔 🤬 🤯

What do I do over a cold, and snowy Thanksgiving weekend..?

Build an amp from Scratch…. Ok, well sorta Scratch-like..

So I dug into the boneyard and found this blown-to-hell Peavey Bandit amp. The cabinet & chassis were usable, so I fitted them with Vintage, early 1950’s transformers, sockets, switches & other hardware creating this nice sounding, class-A tube amp. At 10-watts, this amp sounds amazing. It’s a minimalistic circuit featuring 12ax7, 6L6, and GZ34 tubes and all kinds of tone & gain adjustment. Some work yet to do filling panel holes, labeling & front-panel paint..
Might be my favorite build yet….

Have a look……
