Plus natural wood looks so much classier.
it's the original cab plywood. i've had this cab forever, i found it at a little hole in the wall music store and paid $150 for it used. when i found out later it came loaded with the g12k 85's i knew i had struck gold. it took me about an hour to get the tolex off and another 2 - 3 hours with a belt sander to get all the tolex glue off. but regardless i am pretty sure it's birch plywood.
my little micro terror sounds amazing through it. and i just today bought a randall rd1 so i've got that to look forward to tonight.
and yeah i agree; classier is how it looks. when i was younger i wouldn't be caught dead with something like this. now i am all about seeing wood grain. some of the wood finish mesa's i've seen are gorgeous.
i showed it to a friend at work whom plays as well and he wanted to buy it. i said "NO!"
i wish i could get better pics with this camera.
and how do you like the wgs v30? or have you had it in anything yet? i've actually watched a few v30 vs wgsv30 shoot out vids and have been interested in obtaining a few myself.
when i get my bonus in december i plan on making a 2x12 with either a natural wood stain or a blow torch stain. gonna load it with celestions tho i haven't decided which ones yet.
