Re: [Pic Heavy Thread] My Fender 5E3 Tweed Deluxe Clone
Man, that is just a gorgeous amp! I wouldn't refinish it, either. You should post some audio clips.
Did you build this yourself?

Thank you very much.
I don't have a way to record it, whenever I think of spending money on recording gear some deal comes up, darn GAS.
Unfornatly no. I would most probably kill myself if I tried building an amp from scratch.
It's actually a funny story. It was made by a friend, I just had to pay for the parts and wait he would do it free of charge, but I didn't have enough money and he couldn't wait for too long so another friend of his accept the deal, paid for the parts and got the amp, made me really sad because I wanted a deluxe for years and couldn't afford a vintage one. Now for the funny twist his friend as a good friend of mine and months later I called because he had a new amp he wanted to show me, when I saw the amp I laughed my butt off, because I had no idea he was the guy, that's what you get for living in a small country.
A few months ago I phoned and told me he was selling the homemade tweed and I bought it.
That's part of why I wanna keep the finish it reminds when I had no money and couldn't get an amp I wanted for years, and then all of sudden I had a chance to own one and had to pass it, a couple of years later the same amp comes to my door, when I got it I couldn't sleep for days.
