Thanks guys. Good feels

Sunn 1200s came in today and as I like to do, I immediately took it apart. It was a dirty filthy little amp on the outside but inside it was pretty clean with only a couple problems.





So there's no FUSE! Kinda unsafe and not good if a tube shorts out and fries the OT. Also the 2 prong cord had to go.



Fixey fix. I was lucky I had an extra fuse holder from another amp project and some extra fuses from when I was getting the soundtronics up and running.



Put it all back together. It came with some sweet MIA 6550's they look like they have a lot of life left in them.



I decided it needed to have knobs, so I removed the one remaining beat up origional one and threw these on. Works for me



Here it is in its new home

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Dude, that amp sounds BALLIN'. Dark as hell. You scored BIG TYYYYYME

Your house looks like fun. Lots and lots of fun.

Thats what I keep telling the wife

i see you've redone the place in guitars

So I got this chinese ric copy 12 string. I put a new bridge, locking tuners and some aluma 90 riffians and it plays and sounds good.



NOT GOOD ENOUGH CHINA!!!

Still kinda a fugly clown burst and the upper fret access sucks.

DESTROY!



Insert missing pic of guitar on spindle sander here



So I reshaped the lower cut away and its time to get stupid



just sprayed some clear on that and its time to leave it alone for a while.

So now it's time for lots of wet sanding and then polishing.



Blended the new paint with the old fairly well




Did some fret leveling and crowning while I was at it

I just realized i never put the finished pics up. So here we go
Decorative plate=pickguard



I really need to buy a decent camera





Time for a new project!

Picked up someone else's abandoned project for $20





'm not sure what I'll do to it yet. I'm tempted to follow skully's bass project, but I have 90% of the parts to make a normal bass, and color and finish hasn't really spoken to me yet. I'll probably sell this one when done as I have enough basses allready that cover whatever I need sonically.

Anybody have a suggestions? I might go with metal cavity covers again, or make wood ones, not sure yet.

Ordered some aluminum and brass nut blanks. I can go either 6 or 4 string with those and have no spacing issues
