The 6G15 to match the 5E8A you helped me troubleshoot and finish. This one fired right up with no issues (seemed a helluva lot easier after tacking the 5E8A for a first build!)

Damn sounds good - triode kit - Mojo tank, chassis, and cabinet

Thanks Amp Garage for all the knowledge you all share!

Damn fine instruments there.

structo - is that schematic from the pittman book (CD)...picked it up today. I think it will help me a lot.

Thanks folks. got another build going right now....but it will be a while. Also a 6G15 that matches the 5E8A I just finished. The new build, amp and reverb will all be a matched set! lol....wine and chrome.

Put some guitar pics in the garage gallery. I'd love some feedback. More to come at another date

another build. loved the dano pro body so reverse engineered it for CNC (with a few mods - scale for one) popped in a couple GFS lipstick tubes and a leftover "F" bigsby (from an earlier incarnation of the mex tele). Wouldn't be right not to have a shell pink nitro finish guitar. So far this is the ...

another scratch build. Duncan phatcats in this one. Seafoam green nitro..as you can see, I am a bigsby fan lol.

My first build from parts - had a local guy with a CNC router cut the body. GFS surf 90 rockabilly pickups in this one - I also cut it down to just tone and pickup selector...not cause I cant wire it different, but to keep the circuit bright and let the instrument sing - if it was good enough for Ed...

A pawn shop rescue of an epiphone biscuit resonator. Figured since I got it for a steal, then rip into it with the dremel and pop in a tele noiseless neck pickup, fishman resonator cone transducer and a volume, tone, blend circuit...this also has a PZP-1 preamp from "cafewalter" inside to match the ...

Sorry for a few posts - This is my mex tele that has undergone mods about 6 times. this incarnation? a '54 tele coppertop knock off (complete with duncan vintage broadcaster pickups). Had to grind away the poly finish then reprime and finish with copper nitro and clearcoats

mojotone - tolex color = wine taurus (buggy whip) - grillcloth = oxblood w/silver stripe. They had a "free custom selections" promo
the sound is fantastic!

Deal - will do. Thanks for the info!

Thank you for that Structo!

ya know i saw that after I had already bought the triode kit.....had mojo build a matching cabinet ( while they still have the free custom upgrades thing happening). Long term I may build a tweed vibrolux that matches my reverb.... btw if any pix of guitar builds are welcome I'll sedn some up....i g...

thanks all...it will not be my last build. when I started building guitars I thought it would be a nice one for me....now I have 12 (6 built by me). Tube amps were the next extension of my hobby....I look forward to learning as I go!
