Another JTM45 split panel

Post by coldengray » Fri Sep 02, 2016 1:01 am

Not a kit but it's a JTM45 so I'll post it here...my buddy wanted a full on replica, so we went all out. Just scored some Clapton knobs so might be switching to a white front panel, right now it's metal like the early ones. Found some replica Radiospares Vynair that is REALLY close. Should be wrapped up next week. It sounds great.

Beautiful!

I have never studied the very early JTM45s in detailed, so I can't immediately say how close the Vynair is, but it looks extremely nice on first look.

Thanks fellas. Here's an example of Vynair that hasn't been faded or stained with nicotine. Very close IMO.
