I dont know man, if you get a small tube amp that sounds halfways decent...you can crank it. That will get those tubes saturating and sounding near perfect. Vox AC4 comes to mind, as well as this little gretsch amp that i think is 5 watts. I thought it sounded pretty good.

Thats what i plan on doin man. As far as my knowledge for building goes, im a n00b. But im pretty much a gear nerd so i figure i can do it with some patience.

Look into a used classic 30. It has good cleans with a very good overdrive. All you need for "metal territory" is a distortion pedal....

Definately will man....i want to make sure i get this right hahaha

Hey, my name is Tyler and i live in North Carolina. Believe it or not im 15 years old and am starting a guitar project. This will be my first so im not actually building it, but im having a guy make me the body and im going to find a neck. As for the electronics and everything i plan on inserting everything myself. I know my project is pretty childish as compared to the amazing stuff that you guys are doing...but i hope to get there some day. As far as guitar goes ive been playing for around 4 years. I have a Fender Strat, Peavey Classic 30, and a variety of pedals. Ive been loking for a second guitar...but im really picky. So i got an epiphany, why not build one up myself. I hope to learn a lot and keep you guys posted on my project. The guitar im building by the way...is a Kramer Proaxe. Here are some specs: Mahogany Body HS configuration (Dimarzio PAF, havent decided on a single coil yet) Maple neck White body with black hardware (Volume tone controls, OFR, etc...) There is a ton more that i will post later...
