Altoids Headphone Guitar Amp

Here is the Altoids Headphone guitar amp that I finally put together. I still need to attach a switch for the clean to distortion option, but it will do until I get around to that. I used the same easy schematics for this from the general guitar gadgets website.

New Bridge repair 12 string

Here are some pictures of the new bridge I made using flame maple. Maple is more dense wood than mahogany and less porous.

This is what happens when you make a bridge a little too small and use wood that is not quite strong enough for all the tension demanded from a 12 string guitar.
