I didnt think about that, thanks. I'll probably shave like 2 or 3 inches off the depth. This will help because the CP is larger than the one in the plans.

I would go more like a foot at least. The reason for Lusid's design being so deep was only to fit a crt monitor. Take a glance at some of the slim cabs out there. They look great and are sturdy, even with large control panels.

This is more like what I meant as well. At least cut it down so you can get both sides out of one piece of plywood, and the whole cab out of 2 pieces.

Ok wow, thats alot. I'll look into it. It would be sweet if i could get both sides out of one sheet. I kind of want to do it just to say I did now.. ;D

Sorry for the long time between updates. Updates in OP
Thank you all for your help. I did cut a foot off the depth off the cab, its sized just right. The only issue I'm having now is that the 3rd and 4th players buttons are ghosting. Havent given up yet, plus 1st and 2nd players work fine.
