Just finished my rack!




Believe it or not, I started this setup in July.
Never thought I would ever own anything like this, but I got into a serious band so I needed a solid touring rig.

I did it last night, if you get up close, you can see what a horrible job I did.
Back when I joined Fire in the Skies in May, I was running a Fender Hot Rod combo. That wasn't going to work so I bought a used Peavey XXX from guitar center.
I went to a local glass shop and had them make me a cover for the amp.
They made it all wrong and didn't align the holes so I never used it and before I did anything with it, I got the mark IV and sold the XXX.

So last night my other guitar player took off the 5150 logo on his head and replaced it with a bigger FITS sticker. It looked way cool so I decided I was going to do that with the left over plexi.

I just marked how big it needed to be and I used a straight edge and a utility knife and just went to town on it. drilled the holes and there you have it.
I'll probably make a better one later, but for now, it works.
:P
