This could be git related or not. So, what's on your workbench at the moment?
I have 4 scarf joint necks in different stages of work.
A 25" scale pine 5 string neck for a Banjo-Res, A 25" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Strat-Res build, A 24 & 1/2" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Double Cut Tele build and a 27" scale 6 string Baritone Conversion neck for a Modern Strat body I have.

There’s a few simple amps in the Home made amps group, low parts count, so not too hard? https://cigarboxnation.com/group/home-made-guitar-amps
I like the cabinet, it look very good.
I like the 4 string better because you can have the usual 1 - 5 - 1 tuning and use that 4th string as another 1, 5, add a 3rd for major chords, suspended 4ths, minor chords and some 7ths. Amazing what one more string can add.
Awesome find. I have parts in my bin to make 6 Ruby amps or 3 of my Dual Ruby amps, just have it all on the back burner for awhile. Then we forget.
I bought a new amp 2 months ago and planned to do a write up on it, but my health got in the way. I have had a lot of things going on to add to the fray, but I have done a little bit of putting it through the paces.
My Tube amp needs to be gone through with some cap replacements and other things so I wanted a amp I could use that sounded good, had enough power and I also wanted some effects. I looked at the Blues Cube amps, Peavey Blues Classic, Orange Mini Dark Terror w/cab and I also looked at a Fender Blues Deluxe. So which one did I get? Boss Katana 50watt Combo.
Why the Katana? It has switchable output from .5watts to 25watts to 50watts, it has 5 preset sound choices(acoustic/clean/crunch/lead/brown), it has 50 built in effects(only use 3 at a time), you can have 3 channels for saved combinations and it has a 12" speaker and only cost me $280 bucks.
Is it a good amp? OH YEAH!
Yea, the Katana has really evolved! I had the chance a few months ago to play through one with a few guitars.
Most of the time when someone makes an amp with a lot of bells and whistles, you get maybe one or two good things out of the lot. I can't find anything bad about this amp. I've had solid state amps, tube amps, spring reverbs and lots of effect pedals over the last 40 years and I can say that this amp does everything very well and at the money they go for, I just couldn't say no. The 100watt Artist model has an expression pedal, which is a great addition.
The only thing I'm missing on this amp is a Wah Pedal.
Had the Squier on the neck Firebird pickup today playing on the Katana with Reverb, Compressor and Flanger. Had that guitar quacking like a flock of ducks. LOL
After I finish the Acid box amp, my next project is a license plate resonator guitar. The plate came from the garage of a friend of mine who had passed while helping his wife clean out the house for sale, so it has a personal connection for me. The box is a gun cleaning kit box from Bass Pro Shop and is longer but pretty close in width to the plate. Gonna go with a 25” scale fretted neck.
