LMFAO.  And again... LMFAO.

haha. when i talked to the news guy on the phone, i mentioned wanting to try a DIY amp kit, but didn't have the money, and so i built a princeton out of lego instead.  :D

Wound't it be silly and wonderful if we made a lego creations thread to show off our spaceships and castles?

I think so...

Not to drag up an old thread, but Jim Campilongo just posted a pic of my lego amp on his facebook page! (he's a big princeton reverb guy, in case anyone doesn't know)

Feels good to know that one of my guitar heroes thought it worthy to post a pic of something i made :blush: ... for his 2650 (and counting) FB friends, no doubt!

eh, as a pretty big lego fan, i’m not that impressed. the details in the back are nice, but yours is much nicer by far. the strat is fairly “meh” too, and that’s meant to be the main attraction.

Honestly the Lego Ideas Strat exceeded my expectations, which were low. Curves are not easy to build with Lego. Haven't seen the price yet, I'm sure it costs as much as a Bullet Strat or more.
