Hello Mike - amp was a 'visual perception' because he is holding a guitar. Perfectly understandable. You are correct about the hair part - this is one of the oldest retouching edits when I was still learning about PS and I did not know what monitor calibration meant :-) Thanks for posting

err cabinet/suitcase... I don't know where I came up with amp?!

First off, that is amazing work. The only thing that I don't necessarily like about it is the lost detail in the upper portion of the image (how his hair seems to meld into the amplifier) it seems as though they are quite seperate in the original and it may be possible to preserve that detail somehow. But really amazing work!
