welcome to the forum Andrew, there are quite a few forum members from Melbourne. The LP-1M is a great kit I've built one, love the mahogany bodies and necks. It's worth popping the flame maple veneer gives them a cool look.
Look forward to seeing your build diary, ask any questions you have there.
So what sort of guitar amp do you have to be called Ampman ? haha

I thought someone might ask that .Originally Posted by wokkaboy
Well , I have 3 , a Marshall MS1 microstack , which considering it can run off a 9 volt
battery is a great little thing .
The next is an amp I built from an old stereo amp that I stripped and rebuilt as a guitar amp .
It is based on a Gibson GA8T so is all tube using 2 6BM8 's and 2 12AX7's . Power output
on the day I measured it was 11.9 watts . It sounds great and does it at sane volume levels .
The next is a Marshall 1966 JTM 45/100 running into an original basket weave box .
Its not a copy , its the real Mcoy so not only sounds good but looks fantastic as well .
I will need to ask a couple of things so will do that on the diary .
Thanks for the tip re the flame maple , I was considering that .
Cheers
