Amp Cabinet

Amp Cabinet

If you ever thought building an amp cabinet is an easy and fun job for the DIY guitar amp builder, think again.

After I built my first 18w 1×12″ combo amp cabinet back in 2002, and toiling through dovetail joining the shell, gluing the bracing, stretching the grill cloth on the speaker baffle, not to speak about gluing the tolex on the routed corners of the cabinet, – I decided I’d rather pay someone else who does this for a living and does the job right.

Stage Craft Gear

Boys and Girls, please welcome maestro extraordinaire in guitar amp cabinet artistry, Anthony Bonadio of Stage Craft Gear (also known as the creator of Reason Amps)! :-)
Anthony has been building the cabinets for my Gabriel Amps for the last 5 years that have the now well-known “Bumblebee” look (yellow-black tolex).

And also, since 2007, Anthony is building the amp cabinets available at the Gabkits.com online store for a wide variety of Ceriatone amp models, kits, and with an outstanding degree of customization unheard of in any other amp cabinets sources, like choosing your own tolex color, grille cloth, handles, welt, piping, and so on. Not to mention the outstanding prices available for you!

Now you can finally have that purple- red with pink fuzzy front amp cabinet you always dreamed of !! :-)

A Factory Tour Video

Watch this Stage Craft Gear factory tour video where Anthony explains some of the procedures and materials used to put the amp cabinets together. I am very glad that people like him exists so I don’t have to endure the pains of building an amp cabinet myself!
