Do you only build speaker cabinets? Is there a wait time on your cabinets? Why? Is there really a difference in the tone of solid wood as opposed to plywood and other composite materials? Yes It is my personal opinion that there is a noticeable difference at lower to medium volume levels. If you are playing at higher volume levels, the difference is negligible. Back to Top Is there a difference in price according to the wood I have my cabinet made of? Yes The standard material I use on all of my covered cabinets is pine. Cabinets made of hardwoods, exotics and antique pine carry an up charge because of the higher cost of these raw materials. Back to Top Does it cost more if I want a custom color combination of tolex and grill cloth? Yes My covered cabinet pricing covers standard tolex and grill cloth configurations. Specialty tolex and grill cloth such as Vox checkered, Marshall basket weave, cane etc., cost more so there is an appropriate up charge. Back to Top Does it cost more if I want a cabinet built to my dimensions? Not necessarily Even though I have standard dimensions and cabinet styles, I will produce custom pieces per quote. Back to Top Do you have seconds available? No Each unit is hand crafted by myself. They are built one at a time with each unit being numbered, dated and signed by me. I build each cabinet as if it were going to be mine so I do not have seconds or culls. Back to Top Do you sell your cabinets unloaded or loaded? Both All published prices are for unloaded cabinets. If a customer requests a particular speaker or speakers I will get them and load them. I am an Eminence Dealer and have a similar status with Weber speakers. Back to Top Do all of your cabinets come with a recessed handle pocket? Yes The recessed handle pocket is standard on my speaker cabinets. If you do not want this option just request no recess pocket. Back to Top If I order one of your cabinets unloaded, does it include everything except the speaker? Yes All of my cabinets come with ¾” heavy duty rubber feet, heavy duty (cushioned) leather handle, ¼” Switchcraft jack (wire attached) and nuts and lock washers to attach your speakers. All you have to do is remove the nuts and install your speakers. Back to Top Do you only build speaker cabinets? No I also produce combination cabinets, reproduction pieces as well as performing restoration services. These services are offered on a per job quote basis. Back to Top Is there a wait time on your cabinets? Yes Back to Top Why? I am a one man operation and I build each cabinet myself. I do try to keep “Blanks” of my standard cabinets on hand in order to speed the process. I refuse to sacrifice the quality and workmanship of my cabinets so it takes a little longer to produce than a mass produced product. Back to Top
