Thanks all, it's quite enjoyable making something like this after so many acoustics, different skill set and all. Couldn't find '11' knobs so had to settle for the boring old 10s. Only tried it clean so far, but sounds like a guitar so that's a good start. I'll try and find a set of headphones for the amp before Halifax!

Colin Colin, I have a Vox headphone amp www.voxamps.com/amphone. Twin model. If you like I can bring it to Halifax. |

That would be great Akquarius, I'll bring my set-up amp as well, but the headphone amp would be a perfect solution for people to try it without drowning out everyone else. |

That’s lovely but is still not helping curb my “need” for a semi-hollow electric. It had almost gone away until you posted those pictures.

That's as gorgeous as Clara Bow - and trust me, that's as high a compliment as I can give.

Just finished my version of the same Collins, I’m glad you inspired me to build it, if has a couple of Gibson 57 pickups in it and sounds amazing.
I had to play around with the wiring quite a bit to get it neck and bridge Humbuckers balanced. Other than that s real treat.
