That's the plan. The chassis I've got isn't quite deep enough though, so I need to find a replacement first.

I've run out of time today but I'm aiming to get some clips recorded soon.

And done! Just waiting on feet and a handle.
Sanding on the ends was a bit of a bitch so the finish isn't the best, plus the back panel was a pretty manky old piece of scrap ply. It's a bit shite, but who really cares what the back looks like?
I had a cunning plan for the logo involving Emblems NZ, but then had a brainwave to use the sticker that came with the kit as a logo badge. Cheaper and actually looks pretty awesome:

Yep thats the ticket, an enviable piece of surf guitar kit.
There's a reason these kits have a massive following amongst the surf guitar guys overseas.

I'm in a bit of a surf bend at the moment, decided to dip in my toes by building one of these units (all puns intended). Bender, where did you get that PSU from?

But I'm fairly certain I have a spare. Will dig around when I get home tonight.

Re: DIY Reverb! Now with added Tremolo
Oh, and the choice of reverb tank has a MASSIVE effect on the tone. Far more than I had expected. Point is- if it doesn't sound good off the bat, try a different tank. This has become my #1 reverb over my Fender '63 Reverb Reissue.
