Here is the new cabinet for this amp.
It's walnut, sapele, and tiger maple. Need to put handle on and make back panel, and more finish work.

Stunning cab Jeff.
The amp & cab are made for each other.
Great Work !

Need help. Can't decide which color faceplate. Help me decide please.
Faceplate-1 or Faceplate-2.

Beautiful cab!
Faceplate 3. Same as light accent lines.
Cheers,
Greg

Ok I may have to try that. I like wood.

[sepulchre]

Is #2 oxblood? It's a personal fave of mine and would go nicely with the wood. The piping (accent lines) looks much like #1 to me, sort of the standard Marshall gold?

I would say do a wood one but I think that would make it look too much like a Trainwreck.

Ok here is Faceplate-3.
Tiger Maple. May try a Plexi style Faceplate also, but I like the Maple.
Now the lettering?

Yes kind of, I used Photoshop to color and letter the first two Faceplates.
#3 is wood and is on the amp. Oxblood reminds me of an AC30 I like it also.

Thanks Bob, thought about doing Tolex but went with wood. I think it was the right choice.

Why didn't I think of that??? Thanks Greg.

How did you do those accent lines? Is that inlaid? Looks really fine.

[gktamps]

Quite welcome, Jeff. Looks absolutely beautiful, and I would be proud to own that cabinet myself!

Hmm, typeface - so many choices. Sans serif, for sure, to start. Nothing too whimsical, comical or casual, but nothing stark, blocky or archaic. I'm thinking something with a slightly narrow aspect to keep the words tighter?

Your example is slanted, but I wonder if upright might work better with the right angles of the wood pattern. Opposing view from the wife; a semi-cursive like your example is a nice contrast to the right angles.

I'll bet your amp sounds as good as the cab looks.

Yes I inlaid maple in the front stripe also the top and bottom.
Had to bend the top and bottom pieces like bending guitar sides.
Border of front panel is 3/4" thick strip glued to edge.

Stunner. If Marshall had any brains they'd have issued a super special edition with a cab like that.
