Hey Jason,
Doug here from Missouri and a nube also. Just logged in and sounds like a great place to kick it down.
Love the 55 and especially the 29. If I were you? I would give the cab a slight chop. Don't forget you're gonna lower it. I would think the cab would look awkward sticking up like a smoke stack. But on the other hand,come to think about it, it would be different though. Make a sketch and decide but br sure to let us know.
Doug
