I want to send a shout out to beetle juice!
He inspired me to make a home made amp and by following his direction, and some trial and error, I was able to make a guitar amp of my own. I have been sharing my work with my students and plan to teach them how to make thier own instruments. Here's a pic of my first electric with the amp.
Thanks for this site and your blog, Beetle juice!!

Wholeheartedly agree. I have built several CBG amps now and hacked a few radios all thanks to Beetle Juice. In fact I have two more projects on the go including a Antique Mercedes hubcap Amp. Nice work on the guitar too!

Yup Mr Beetle Juice got the MoJo fo sho!! Thanks for all your hard work Sir! You make a huge difference here on CBN with many very intesesting pictures & posts. Keep up the good work.  -Doug

Thanks! The Mercedes hubcap amp sounds very interesting, I'd like to see that when you finish!
