OK, I am known to my friends to be a quick build, that is generally when I am talking guitars...

But with each Trinity kit I am getting better/faster/neater and tonight I finished a 2nd Deluxe kit for a buddy who manages a local music store.

I started assembling the kit at 6pm, worked untill 7 and ate dinner. WOrked from 8 to 9:30 and then went out to catch a local band for a set. Got home at 12am, and worked untill 2:30am, just finished cleaning up!

Fired that baby up and she sings just like #1...

Not bad for a Friday night... now I can bring it to him tomorrow and surprise him with it (and get MY Deluxe back from him... he's had it for the past two weeks!).

Next stop... TC-15! CHoo CHoo!

aj,

You are a voracious builder. I cant keep up to you. That has to be a build record of some sort. Darn well done.

What cab did you build for it?

Just something I threw together at work yesterday after the kits arrived

Its bird's eye maple and some flame maple veneer I had, with a bubinga accent strip and feet.

He wanted a head, not a cabinet.

Threw that together! Wow. Very nice.

Can you shoot a pic of the rear with it off so we can see how the tubes fit in etc. What were the dimensions?

Stephen,
The cab is open back. The box is 10 inches wide (front to back) with the face set back 1" to protect the knobs. I planed the maple down to 5/8" thickness. The chassis just fits in the box (with about 1/8" clearance side to side, and the larger transformer has about 3/4" clearance in height. I fixed two 10-32 nuts into the chassis mount holes (with epoxy) so when I slide the chassis into the box, the two machine screws you see in the front engage the nuts and hold it in place. The face panel is some curly maple veneer I glued onto a piece of 1/4" Baltic birch, which is glued into a slot in the top and sides of the box.

I was going to put a metal screen on the back, and make an extension for the speaker jack but the owner said he will just be carefull. The tubes sit far enough in the box that you would have to be careless in order to hit them anyhow.

I already delivered the amp today, so I cant take any more pics right now... but the good news is I got my own Deluxe back

Another 2 guys were in the shop when I was there, and Luc (the guy I built this one for) was trying his out. Again, they were really impressed and I told them to come and see the Trinity website.. hopefully there will be a few more of these up in the North some time in the future..

Wow, the birdseye on the side of that head cab is magical!
