Did you wind up buying the LS-1?

The head is a minimum of 4 ohm, so I guess that's a no. Thanks for the input!

I currently have a the WTX264 paired with an Eden EX112 4 Ohm cabinet. If I add another EX112 cabinet, does it need to be a 4 Ohm version or can I use the 8 Ohm model?

Not all MM pickguards look like toilet seats.

Updated family snapshot.

My experience with a $65 kit was not nearly as favorable. The neck that came with mine was a disaster. Whoever was responsible for shaping the fretboard must have been drunk or asleep that day, the farther you went up the neck the worse it was. The hole for the E string tuner was punched so...
