This RA Custom SR45 AB763 circuit is as faithful as it gets to the original Fender circuit, a true clone, but with better components.

Well, I had this bare old ’68 SR chassis hanging in the shop.  I got bored one day and started building … Well, it’s done and it’s awesome.

Get ready for the busy fall season with a RAWOODS amp facelift.  Class-up your side of the stage..   Bass Players, ask me about the TONE-RING cabinets, you’ll thank me later.

This is my first time formally advertising on the net.  I’m using blog software instead of the properly built “web”. It’s because I’m a wood craftsman and not a computer craftsman.  This blog software is easy enough to work with that I can spend most of my time making great cabinets instead of a great big headache here behind the computer.

I would publish my personal phone number here, but thanks to unscrupulous hackers and phishers, I can’t.  So just Email me and I’ll give you my phone number so we can talk about your amp.

Email me with price-quote requests, questions, comments, suggestions, what-have-you…

I look forward to speaking with you!

I’m Rick and I’m a tubaholic.   Welcome to my blog.

I design and build custom tube amps and custom wood enclosures for professional and amateur players.

There’s always room for one more when it comes to discussion groups/blogs about guitars,  amps, music, and the players.

In the next few weeks I’ll be constructing this blog site, trying to make a comfy den in which to indulge ourselves into the world of custom amp building.  I hope you join me on this blog to discuss all things about tube amps, guitars, the music biz, or anything worth airing.

Please be patient and let me know if I’m doing something right or wrong.

Bookmark  RAWOODS.COM  and return as often as you like.

If you’re looking for a speaker cabinet, combo cabinet, complete amp, my bench is OPEN.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peace, Rick
