Birch Plywood Amplifier Case

Here is a picture of my completed guitar amp case. It was custom built to hold my Traynor YCV80 tube amplifier. I didn’t buy an ATA style flight case because I wanted to be able to stack the amp’s base on top of the lid. 3/4” birch plywood was certainly up for the task. After I built the shell, I rounded all the corners with a belt sander. It didn’t look that bad with just bare plywood, but I had already decided to put a protective layer over it. So, I covered it with truck bed liner. Consequently, this case could probably survive a small explosion. But it weighs enough (~60 lbs) that it should be able to! I’m hoping to post more of the construction pictures later…
