Finally finished the Nomad 55 Combo to Head conversion!!!

[escher]

Took about three weeks working during lunch hours with my co-worker, but this came out AWESOME!!!

We went to guitar center and modeled it after a Mark V. Only thing thats missing is black piping on the front - we tried but couldn't get it to work out.

We modified the design to use 1/2 inch instead of 3/4 to save on weight. I think it turned out great!

Lemme know what you think..

Thanks guys!! I'm glad it turned out so well, it deserves to look as good as it sounds!

Nice!

How difficult is it to change from a combo to a headshell? Is it just a question of assembly or is there some wiring involved? My Mv Combo is a friggin back breaker! :lol:

No wiring - just make sure to leave enought room to fit the reverb tank in...

Just a thought...

I have the prototype head shell that I used while we built the final product - I could fix her up and cover it if anyone is interested? Say $150 plus shipping? I have no use for an empty headshell.

This will have 3/4 MDF sides, front and back and 3/4 plywood top and bottom.

Let me know if anyone is interested.... it will take me a week or so to finish it as this week is pretty booked up.
