Tweed Princeton 5F2-A Build (PICS)

[kmcguitars]

A few months ago I was given this Old Peavey Decade. It had a intermittent short some where? So Instead of troubleshooting the problem... I had a better Idea! Here is a 2 part slide show I like to call... Turning a Turd into a Tweed! Sound clips coming soon, Enjoy.

You make it look way too easy. It can't be that easy can it? Nice slide shows. Did it turn out as well as you had hoped?

Thanks for the pics.

It's was a lot of work. Most Importantly a lot of attention to detail. Make one mistake and your screwed! Being that this wasn't a kit and came with no instructions, I hit a few brick walls during the build I had to think my way though. But if you take your time and enjoy it...It's very rewarding.

What's the new nameplate gonna look like, Mr.GuitarARtologist? I assume you're gonna remove the Peavy logo. Looks like your one you way to becoming a AmpArtologist also.

Yeah, The Peavey logo is gone,And I sanded the Peavey face off. I got stick on Lettering from a Arts&Crafts store. I think this makes a sufficient faceplate? As you can see in the pic. I had a extra hold I needed to fill. I just happen to have some Military Insignia's laying around that seem to work.:banana: I have a Major's leaf on the face plate and a Colonel (or Navy Captain) Bird on the grill. So I guess I can call it `The Tone Major' or Cap't Tweed.:laugh2: Lt. Commander Princeton.
