There’s one sure-fire way to avoid getting scuffs and tears on a newly made cabinet – start with a cabinet that’s already distressed. That was the approach that Peter took with his PP-18 amp build. It has some nice details, too, such as the three circular vent holes in the front and back panel cut out for the mains and speaker sockets. “The guitar sounds ******* magic through the PP-18. Brought a smile – especially the neck pickup. Drove me to a couple of Hendrix riffs right there stood on the settee (wife’ll get me for that).”
