Loooong story short-ish. Old bro from back in the day reconnects with me after we play a reunion show in 2010 or so. I help him out a lot as we write his second album, including letting him paw thru my amp collection. He takes my 5153 on tour during the writing process, but it doesn't inspire...

First off, a big shout out to Griff10672 for making the wood shell face for me. I was having the worst time figuring out how I was going do this idiotic project. He was a huge help in not only making the wood face, but he made a template for the Marshall logo mounting prongs.
