Wow, that's pretty spectacular. I'm not sure I'd want it in my collection, but it looks great in yours! I bet it would have great stage presence too.

WOW WOW WOW!!! Amazing!!!

Where are the controls??

 

[Megatron]

Thanks!

No controls for now, I find I don't need them when playing on the couch and wanted to maximize the quilt top, but I might drill them in later.
