    Thanks eddie. As far as tone,I`ve never heard better.If I do another,I`ll do the Treble Middle Bass version. As far as tutorals, the www.18watt.com site is the place for all your information. They are real helpful.I wouldn`t feel confident telling people to play with high voltages and I`m not much of a teacher/writer.
  3. goat
    No different than any I`ve seen.

    Heyboer makes them special for GDS amplification because the 18 watt isn`t made anymore as far as I know.

    Cost about $300 to make. They call it "The Holy Grail" as far as sound goes. An original sells for $4,000 -$8,000 on flea-bay.

    Yeah Drak,its www.18watt.com now.That`s the amp I built.They didn`t break up,they got their own site. It has a EZ81/6AC4 rectifier , 2 EL84/6BQ5 power tubes and 3 ECC 83/12AX7`s It`s a KILLER tone. Tell me if this link works. That was me and Johnny at the Stone Pony. AMPLIFIER

    Been building a tube amp as fervorously as I did my guitar,that`s why I havn`t been posting,but I finished this head. Now I`ll be building cabinets.I have two 12" speakers.An Alnico blue and a greenback.I`m going to build a mini-cabinet for each.The top one will be a slant so they will look like mini-stacks. This amp sounds unbelievable.It`s from a Marshall 18 Watt schemetic.Class A watts.It drives a 4x12 cabinet LOUD! A normal and a Tremolo channel.All Tube. Tube amp

    I am officially entering. I have a design and my fiddleback maple for the top.I have this beautiful dark wood a friend gave me,but I don`t know what it is.It weighs A TON!!!!!!I know we have a year,I will search for the time.I have a baby on the way and I am in the middle of building an amplifier but I will try my best. You`re going to finally do that archtop,aren`t you?
  13. goat
    That sounds good Ryan.I`ll e-mail you
  14. goat
    You don`t want just carbon steel rod.It weighs a ton and bends very easily.Carbon steel rod is just plain steel rod in most cases.It will bend which is why long long ago...they used square stock.Adjustable truss rods are carbon steel,but the threaded tension makes them stronger. It is carbon fiber you would want,it is already cut to length so you don`t have to worry about splinters.It is very rigid .

    Hey Weez, How many people in England say" Y`all" ?
  16. goat
    That`s more confusing than the edited post of the quoted other one edited
  17. goat
    Yeah,this way I don`t have to take it off or go through the pick-up cavity to get to it.

    Thanks bro`.Click on the link. It uses regular strings. dguitarparts da link she a no work Try this?
  19. goat
    O.K.,I added both guitars to the finished album.
  20. goat
    Yeah the white one is an original I got after I started mine.It sounds just like Johnnys`.I`ll take a shot of them side by side and put it in the album. I`m getting this computer interface software for Christmas so I can make an MP3 track for you to hear the guitar. If I can figure it out,I`ll post the different sounds it gets. My friend wanted me to go see this guy Jay Montrose who was supposedly good friends with,and used to play with Danny Gatton.Have you heard of him? He just played at The Mexical Blues Cafe in Teaneck,N.J.

    Thanks Drak, I consider your work some of the best I`ve seen,so that means alot to me. Johnny`s The MAN! If you look at my other photo albums there,you can see he signed my real Lazer when I met him.I`ve seen him more than any other player I`ve seen.At least seven times. I gotta tell you it must be the shape and size with the combination of Mahogany(which his is also.)Like I said the range of tones are unreal. I know for a fact that Johnny uses 10`s,but he drops his tuning a whole step on each string starting with 'D',but this one sounds similar and I have it regular tuning. Johnny Winter

    Thanks Keith. I would recommend inlaying into a natural or a stained surface only. I must say,I will never inlay a guitar again on a painted surface.I did it in the wood first,because to route over a painted surface would,well,ruin the paint with the epoxies,sanding and such.,but the edge from paint to inlay was a hard edge.Maybe because it was Metallic?Fortunately I used the black two part epoxy,which gives it a border. After taping over the logo,I had to remove the tape to shoot the clear.It was very tedious. If its in a headstock,I recall Bob Benedetto routing his into a plastic black laminate,then clearing.
