That was good, Matt. The two fellas at the bottom are the ones I saw. (The one on the bottom left has hair and looks to be clean shaven. The one to his right looks to have longer fuller hair and a beard or facial hair). You nailed it. Your little guy at her top I didn’t see. Imagine Eyes for the second set of horizontal holes (for bridge?) below the bottom pup routed space, ignore the two holes above where the bottom holes’ eyes are suggested. Think of an English Norman soldier with a bullet like helmet. Not much for a nose and such, but I wrote that off for face protection like chain mail.

I see three faces now above the switch hole. Here it comes. The religious angle, but it could be a long haired hippy or metal head. Above and just a tad right of the switch with the guitar body in a vertical position you may see a good size Christ like face with a dark hi-light running down the bridge of the nose and hair flowing down to the left of the switch. For another character, this dude’s stash can be the top of a baseball hat with a little round face fella with dark hair/sideburns and a bit of a torso. A third is a small face where Christ (or other) has his left eye.

Eric and others may see it differently and YMMV.

Regardless, I know the final project will be very cool. 8)

Great grab, Mud. One of the better classic amps IMO. A great recording amp to be sure. After all, the first Princeton was made the same year as me - 1947. :lol: This is a good one. Have many fun times with it.

FSB

FYI: You may have seen this Mud. But, with the chance you may not have (and for others), as you know these circuits are confusing with these amps. Less power and more compression related 5U4 rectifiers were in surplus, and they are found in some Princetons. This fella does a great explanation:

For all those with a Mesa/Boogie MK I, you can thank Fender Princeton upon which the MB has it’s roots. :D

Nice Teles you have there. 8) Is there a huge difference between the two?

In a word "yes". The Orig 50's is intended to be just that, a remake, sound and feel, of the 50's-era Tele. The Elite is the "next gen" Tele (my words), having locking short post tuning machine, 4th gen noiseless pups, compound radius fret board and C to D profile neck. S1 switch. And a few more design features. It's sounding, and easy to play neck. Having been a Strat man since my teen years, these are my first Telecasters. Each different from the other. One thing of note, the 50's has a beefier neck than any guitar I have owned. A little getting used to, me having small hands. But, fun to play.

I bought this to try to keep my fingers strong. It's the only one I could find where you can adjust the tension on each finger individually and, if you pull off the large gray pad, there are plastic "strings" molded into it to keep up your calluses. I can use it work on my picking hand thumb too. :)

Some might think it funny I would consider this as gear but it is an accessory for my gear.
I got this today from Amazon.
The computer style end plugs into the back of my amplifier (Boogie Mark V Thirty-Five) instead of the cord that came with the amp.
I run an extension cord to power this daisy-chain cord which is typically used by network server arrays.
At least I think that's what the IT guys use it for.
I am going to use the daisy-chain part to plug my pedal board into.
This way when I play "out" I have a cleaner setup and I only need one outlet socket and it doesn't matter how far away that outlet is because I have a 20' extension cord dedicated to this rig.
This will be way cleaner than having a power strip and cords plugged into it.
I'm all about clean looking rigs.
I hate clutter and cable spaghetti.
I had to open up my amp and remove the chassis to make this work because there was not enough room for the cord sticking out the side.
I went in an removed the power connector from its socket and rotated it 180 degrees.
There's plenty of room for the cord on the other side of that jack.


Image

The next part of my cleanliness and beautification project is to assemble a snake that will go from the pedal board to the amp.
The snake will contain the power cord to run the onboard power supply, the DIN cable that my amp's foot-switch uses and the instrument cable that runs from the pedal-board output to the amp's input.
I do wonder about the instrument cable picking up interference from the A/C but I currently route all 3 cables close together already and don't have any issues.
With this daisy-chain cord and the snake my set up and tear down will be way simpler and way faster and it will look clean and will reduce trip hazards on small stages.

That's interesting. I didn't even know they made such a thing. That does look convenient. 8)
