Just finished building a 6G7A model Blonde Bandmaster thought you might like a peek. I am voicing the circuit and waiting for the cab then will post more pics and some sound clips. I have had a lot of call for this amp from customers, so here it comes!

Wow, stunningly beautiful!

I'm also very curios what iron you have chosen (OT/PT/Choke) :D

After building my first 5E3 Deluxe from a Mojotone kit, I can appreciate what a beautiful job you did on the wiring/routing.

Can you recommend any books on amplifier building/design.

Luxtone: that looks supertasty! :p
Where did you get that brown single footswitch?
I'm looking for one for my BM (6g7a) and one for the reverb unit.

Very nice. I'm looking for a foot switch for my '62 Blonde as well. I'd love to hear some clips!

Really stunning work inside and out!
Always glad to see the Blonde/Brownface handmades. Not many make them, and they are real gems.

Thanks for the offer Luxetone!:)

I may have found an alternate source. I'll give it a week to see if I get a response.
If that falls through, I'll take you up on that offer!:D
