That sounds like something I could really get into! I have a pretty long list of other projects I really want to complete before I start on building mics but I would welcome any recommendations for a first project when I get ready.
Thanks,
Chuck

Thanks for teh note. Will keep in touch. ET

I would love to have a vintage tube radio coverted to a low watt guitar amp... if you are into these things, I would be willing to build something for you, or figure some parts trade, lumber, tools?

the best,

Sam

I have looked into it and one of the pickups I have goes anywhere from 35 to 50.00 a piece , I was wondering are you wanting the pick guard,switches,and volume knobs also ? :-)
