I had some experience with rewiring guitars, and had built four pedal kits. Amps are a little easier than pedals; much more room to work with and no PCB's to deal with. There's also a wealth of info online to help out like lots of pictures of built amps to help with layout and wire routing/dressing. Some experience with schematic reading may help, especially with troubleshooting like you said, but my kit came with full color/full scale diagrams so it was basically an exercise in making my chassis and fiberboard look like theirs.

my first fender was a 66 super reverb that i made payments on until i could take it home and drive my parents and neighbors crazy!!
presently, i use a strat as my workhorse guitar, but also have a tele that i love. but, i also have a les paul and 335 that i love also. it all depends on the sound i'm wanting to achieve. recently, i purchased a 59 tweed princeton that has become my workhorse amp. i also have a 64 blonde bassman with cab, 67 blackface super reverb, 67 blackface pro reverb, 64 blackface bassman with cab, and, 67 blackface bassman head. i rarely use any of the larger amps as i hurt my back a few years ago and need to borrow my nephew to help bring any of them in from the garage. ha! years ago, i bought a slew of gibson amps that came from sam hutton who was a cabinet maker for fender. play music!

I started playing in 1972 or so, when I was 13 years old. My first rig was a Fender Bronco w/ a Champ amp that my folks bought me brand new that year for around if memory serves me correctly, around $200.00 or so, which was quite a bit back then. I had that for many years until around 1993 or so when I sold it so I could get my 1st strat which was a MIM Standard. I had gotten rid of the Champ by then and was using a Marshall combo but don't remember what model it was. I had that MIM model until 2006 when my wife bought me a new 2006 Sunburst with the new upgrades that came out that year. I still have that , and won't get rid of it. I've since installed Fender locking tuners, Graph-Tech bridge saddles & Mint Green Pickguard & Knobs & PUP Covers on it. In 2010 , I bought a used MIA , 60th Anniversary Special Edition Sunburst Model which has a delta tone system and 57/62 pups in it. I play these through a Frontman 65R which I bought in 2010 as well.
