Much appreciated, EdBo.
Wow!!
I’ve been wondering where I could drop these pictures in, and have it make sense...in context.
We went to see a Beatles’ tribute band that turned out to have a broader setlist...Kinks, Yardbirds, Who, Stones. It was good fun!!
The bassist played the Hofner for Every Beatles’ song...

I always wanted a Factor... Then I "Factored" in the cost...
Nothing, and I mean nothing, sounds like a Factor.

That's pretty wild - good on both Hofner and Jazz! ... crazy.
This old HillBilly Fabricated them 3 Color Bug Zappers ! I used an old 3 way Telecaster switch mounted in the top/rear of my Zapper to control color for both. The low voltage LED lighting is interconnected between the 2 with any XLR mic cable. We start the evening Red then go Blue when it's Blues Time and Purple(both red and blue) for the encore.
I hacked and slit and made it all fit.
A childhood friend of me and my Guitar Player owns a Trucking company and gave us the exhaust stack shields. Got some Sched. 40 PVC fittings from Home Depot for less than $10 and used stuff I had laying around. Another good friend brought by a conduit bender to bend the goose-necks, they pull up and out and are held secure with a thumb-screw. The main bodies slides easily in and out of the disc brake rotor's we chose for bases. Easy to set up and tear down. I still need to make a box/case, for easy/safe transport.
**Peace**

Those Heritage cabs sound great! Love mine. Use it a lot with the Svt-7pro and the PF-500. Great rig enjoy it.
I may need your services, when the apocalypse is nigh...

I'll show my latest acquisition, which was waiting for me when I got home! That's a Fender Blacktop Jazz, and it came with flats!
Learned the trick from an interview with bill Wyman. He said he always played old strings as he doesn't like the squeeks and zings of new ones.
About 10 minutes with a little washing powder makes em quite lively again. Just not as zingy as new ones.
Did it all the time back in the day as I had no money for strings.
Now when I'm not trying out something new I still do it. I agree with Wyman I don't like them to be too bright.
Far from the originals, these are the Coolest !

Mine are just inexpensive copies I cobbled together.
