Do you mean the one in pickups?  This cab is a Matamp 1x12 with a Scumback M1275-16-LHDC 65W in itand the amp is a Ceriatone JTM45/18 (see below).  The other amp is a Ceriatone Overtone Special sat on top of an Ear Candy Sweet Tooth which has an Eminence Ramrod and Lil' Buddy.  Tim at Ear Candy is making a head cab for the Overtone and also a matching 2x12 Buzz Bomb.

I don't know if it's just the camera angle, but in the first pic the amp looks like it's toppling forward and about to crush the SG to (toneful) matchwood....

It really does everything that you would expect, almost liquid sustain when you kick in the overdrive and boost, with some very nice clean tones and a bit more kick with the clean boost.  The controls all make a difference and it seems to work really well with the TAD 6L6W-GC STR's (rather than the regular 6L6's), though I would like to try the new Groove Tube 6L6 GE's, which look very similar.  I think it will sound really great when I have the 2x12, as it has a ton of power.

been dying to post in this all day but the filter at work wont let me onto the reply screen

anyway, thanks phil!

the guitar is a standard SG shape but the bevels are a bit different and i think the dogears and lack of a scratchplate make it look quite a bit different

i had to do it because i have spent so long moaning about the flaws in the gibson design and i am happy that i solved most of them  and i am very happy with the look of the guitar and the new headstock shape to match it

i will do more of this design at some point, maybe 1 more this year... but i like to build a variety of different things and challenge myself a bit so i dont want to get overwhelmed with SG's just yet

looks badass, I'd have gone with soapbars rather than dogears, but thats personal preference.  Wez's work looks great as usual - I'd love something similar except a single Pig90, cherry finish, small headstock and thin neck width like the 60s SG jrs had and a scratchplate too.
