I had to buy one ready made because I’d be guaranteed to electrocute myself building anything like that, but an 18 watt Marshall is the best amp ever IMO. Just make sure it has a master volume or bu ... |

I wear my watch on that side too. And can confirm it isn’t great for the finish if I’m wearing a metal strapped watch. |

Aye. The only reason to use those plates is if it is the 12 string one and you are building a 12 string JM.
