  • Latest project - Orange 5150

    This is the first 5150 shell I've built (I have another one on the go right now). I figured orange would look pretty damn cool, so here it is.

    I finished it last night, and it was sold 5 minutes later. The other guitarist in my band (who just happens to have a 5150) shows up literally 5 minutes after I finish screwing the handle on, and freaks out over it. Now he wants me to re-cover his 4X12 in orange to match. He also has an Orange Rockerverb100, so I think I sense a theme developing here.

    Looks absolutely professionally done. It's too perfect. I'd cry if I dinged it hehe.

      Thanks man. That's what my buddy said last night. He's afraid he's gonna mess it up.

        Looks great Paul! What's next?
        Popular is not the same as good
        Rare is not the same as valuable
        Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

          Thanks bro.

          Next up (working on it today) is another 5150 shell in white Marshall style tolex. Then I'm working on a custom order for a dude. He wants a 14 space rack shell in green tolex, like the black one I did with the metal grills at the sides.

          I'm also building a new shell for my Rhino. I re-tolexed the original shell, but it's such a piece of shit, I shouldn't have wasted the tolex on it. I'm going to build a new one, in white Marshall style tolex, and a dark grey tinted plexiglass front panel.

          I'm going to do a few Marshall shells at some point. I just have to find a good source for all the parts.

                  The orange and black is a killer...Maybe need to get a guitar done in that color.

                    Shoulda put the Orange logos on it too, so he can leave 'em guessing at how he gets an Orange to sound like a 5150
