Some other builds... (amp re-housing/lap steel)
Just thought I'd put up a couple of other builds I've done over the past few years. Might give you guys some ideas to play around with!
First up is a re-housing of an old Squier Champ 15R amp. I just felt like doing something a bit different so made a new speaker cab and head housing from some nice pine, finished with beeswax.

Next up is another amp rehousing. I took an old Randall bass head and wanted to create a Trainwreck style head out of it. Again, pine with beeswax finish.

As a cab for this one I made a box for a 12" speaker with the inspiration being one of those Fender anniversary Pro Junior amps.

Finally, a lap steel that I wanted to make with a surf feel - from memory it's maple, but I can't for the life of me remember what the darker wood was. I was quite proud of the way I approached the mounting of the tuners. They are a bit fiddly to get at but it works well! It was also tough making the pickup cover to fit nicely but I got there in the end.
