Now I am really bummed looking at this great cab.....nice score

Holy Shit!
Time travel is possible!
That looks amazing.

Nice! I bet it sounds awesome!

I'm loading it up today with my Pre Rola Greenbacks...I'm anticipating greatness!

I'm insanely picky about any wood work of any kind. I come from a big construction family where my Dad, who was a stickler for details, wouldn't even let us use waffle face hammers to frame (he would say that they left marks and even though no one would would ever see them after sheet rocking ...he knew they were there) so I am happy to report that the build quality of this cab is RIGHT on par with the build quality of any of George's amp builds ....which of course is near or right at perfection. I am VERY impressed and VERY happy! I'm just really stoked about the whole package! The EC Collins cloth is simply epic and the custom machined screws and caster mounts and especially the handles are just spectacular! This is a true time machine piece of gear...just like Georges amps!

Same here! I come from a woodworking family also. When I was building both of my cabs with my grandpa... he was very picky about what we used.... down to the kind of drill bit.. etc!

Wow, the craftsmanship is fantastic!

I'm going to have to liquidate some items to score one of these.

I got the cab all loaded up with the Greenbacks today and I'm totally stoked! Perfect "even" cab! Not to extreme in any way! .... just perfect! This is (in many ways) my dream cab, looks and brains you know what I mean?

GREAT job George! This cab is the SH*T!!! Absolute search ender...just like your GPM45. I'm done, I have my lifetime 4x12 cab now I can move on.

Great Cab!!!! What wire did you use to wire up the speakers? Standard red/black (not sure which guage)? Thanks a Million!!

We used the stuff that George sent....black and red wire.

I actually went out and found some multi-stranded wire that was very close specs wise. But when I compared it to our topcoat stuff, the topcoat sounded better. So I'm sticking with that until something better comes along.

18g topcoat.

It is a truly beautiful piece of kit.

Far too nice to take out of the house or a very tidy well kept rehearsal/recording studio unless you have an armour plated flight case and a dedicated roadie to mind it

Hi George, does Metro sell the 18ga topcoat wire? I didn't see in in the on-line store...

Thanks!!!

I love Georges cabs. They sound fantastic! Every single detail has been covered- Even the handles are spot welded, not punched in china like most. These are absolute replicas. Here is one of my baby's.
