Nice wood work, wonder how it sounds

Cool!
Reminds me of one I used to own:

Both, nice examples of fine woodwork.

That’s probably 100 hours of work. To sell, or not sell, for $275 is a shame.

I had a small Epiphone amp once I gave to my son. It sounded pretty bad and hummed really bad. The cab is too small as well for a 12” speaker.

But, it looks marvelous!

nah - not me. I saw one description / review of that particular Epiphone amp as "a gold plated turd".
Too bad he didn't use a Valve Jr. or some other decent amp in it. I would have built up a custom Princeton to put in it or something like that.
He put a lot of really nice work into the cabinet, so I agree with CapnDenny, it's a lot of hours for next to nothing in return.
I guess a guy could buy it for the cabinet, throw away the amp and put something decent in it instead, but I have enough projects as it is.
