Not yet. I have dimensions and comments from owners such that I have to draw a proper diagram for Chris to work from. Particularly to make sure the head fits into the corner of the box without hiding 12mm of front panel on the bottom and side, also to incorporate the compartment for bulgin and cables.

Do you have decent diagrams?

I think that it looks like fretwire to me and I will probably get the slots cut for fret wire on mine.

That is a 7-holer I got from BrianH before he stopped, I put the turrets in.

Pics will follow of the restored '64 with Art's material.

I've had x3 JTM45s on the go at once, this clone, a '64 resto and '65 resto. Now coming together.

Decided to put this one in a sandwich front cab (clone) with salvaged Vynair and repro coffin logo. The '64 is going in the burned head cab once I strip all the black goo and modern Marshall stuff off it, recover it in salvaged smooth levant and a Maroon logo. The '65 is in a black on green levant script logo cab. Pics to follow :thumbsup:
