Yeh, EV's would be the way to go. Looks fab. Nice handiwork.

OMG!! That's just beautiful isn't it. I can remember ogling the Acoustic gear in Kitchens in Newcastle while waiting for the bus home from town. Must have been around 77-78 as the had one of these with a 370 head (I think) and the first Musicman Stingray I'd seen in the flesh in the window.

This cab rocks my world!

Looking great, a shame you have to put it in a crate.

I know, I agree but it has to work for its keep

[cd_david]

I decided against the live in flight case and had it modified to a lift off. Was a shame to hide it and it made the cab VERY large.

[Andyjr1515]

Yes - much too good to hide. It looks great. Super job.

Beautiful restoration! Did you source new corners for your cab? I have 140 and 370 Acoustic heads that are in dire need of some new ones!

[cd_david]

Yes they are new corners. Fender cab corners from Allparts UK.
