 like everyone else, there are times when I need to relax and have some time to work on custom pieces without the preessures of a deadline.
 I figured it was time to combine my love of audio with my years of experience as an automotive body man.

 I am working on a very unique amplifier that I want to look as sweet as it sounds. This link will take you to the page where you can follow the construction process of this amp.

If you have any interest in purchasing this amp, feel free to submit an offer.

Let me know your thoughts.

Here is a picture showing the latest progress on the amp. These recent pieces are simply 'sitting' there for a test fit.

 The control knob is solid Bubinga. 1-1/2" thick and 1-7/8" in diameter. The tube rings are also solid Bubinga. I think now the chassis does have to be high gloss black.

Thanks Hammer,

 Wait till you see it with the transformer covers on it. aa

 This amp is a custom version prototype of the "Purity SE88" to be officially released the first quarter of 2010 by a new company.

Been quite busy with larger orders on the benches but here is another mock-up prior to going to paint.
