Cool, obviously custom cab “finishes”

What? No tort cabs?

Would love a 112 in each colour : )

I've got no pics (alas), but in a prior geologic period gave some serious thought to a Kustom 3x12 cab (+amp) done in blue metal-flake tuck and roll.

I'm not sure they even carry maple anymore. It was just sitting in the regular 1X3 maple bin along with a few more nicely figured lengths and tons of nondescript oness. The guy at the cash register picked up on it instantly and commented "nice score" or something similar.

I was pretty shocked to see HD listing Europly plywood on their website last year when I was looking for some to match my other DIY Cabs that I used it for, as I did for this one. I only needed enough for the head case for the tube amp I'm currently building and they were able to sell me a 1/4 sheet:

That front panel is just a proof of concept test, I still haven't settled on a final version just yet. Here are some other versions we did at my luthier friend's place with his laser rig:

Very nice work. You have skills, sir!

I got it at my local Home Depot in the hardwood trim pile for regular price, go figure! <groan>

Ahhh yes, A buddy scored a piece the same way, then they quit selling Maple. Luckily we have a Menards now, I did see a few pieces with light figuring, nothing super awesome yet. Definitely worth perusing when your there.

I would love to do an all-white rig, with white rat fur.

You sure you want to go there?

Found in the finest pawn shops everywhere.

These look interesting…

Then there's Emperor and Verellen.

This is a custom, if not a more return to classic, recovery story:

For a number of years, I've wanted to recover something small (a head, a fender champ, etc.,) with hair-on cowhide, just need to find one with an interesting pattern. Until that comes along, here's a vegan-friendly recover I did a few years ago. It was better than the reeking ratfur.

There's a place here in Vegas called Sixx Gun music that does great custom ones. They do great custom work in general, just did my multiscale defret; pics on that soon in another thread

Sixx Gun Music – Sorry we are not back online yet. We'll be up and running soon.
