The P-13 sounds amazing, as expected, but the National is a bit quiet in comparison despite it's size. The gtr plays nice, neck is comfy and body light (plywoood); am liking the cutoff Tele style bridge too.

Won't fit on the bench...

I ran out of 0.7mm aluminum for mounting brackets and the smallest sheet I could get was 2m x 1m. It's folded twice in the picture. :oldlol:
So I should have plenty of it left in case anyone needs some.
Condolences, the bums lost!

Borrowing The Captain's box-in-a-box scheme for tube mounting for this pentode preamp i've got in the works. The end goal for the user is a tube preamp to warm up a Fractal rig (which I find to be monumentally amusing). Dont have one of those to test on but even on the front of a few different amps (tube and SS) it sounds great. At unity gain it adds a nice bit of sparkle and then turned up its a wicked boost to slam the front end of the amp.

Lots of guitar building and modding recently....

1964 Gibson J45 Tastefully cleaned, de-rusted and brought back to life after 15 years unused.
Stripped & fixed Uke.
Ugly as fuck partscaster prettied up and fucking horrid wiring fixed. Flame maple Strats are not to my taste but a friend got this really cheap. Pearloid scratchplate was :-P
