What to use for the wooden face plate

[gnugear]

The one that goes over the knobs and switches ... is it veneer? Seems like anything else would be too thick for mounting any hardware?

I used 1/8 solid cherry. The PEC pots are log enough. All the other parts are long enough also. You can go to a craft shop and buy precut 2" stock in various sizes and thicknesses. I got a piece of 3/32" bass wood with Cherry like Grain for another amp I'm doing for $2.00. The faceplate on my wreck is solid cherry cut from the wood used on the rest of the cab for matching grain and is 1/8 inch thick!

If you are not using PEC pots tho, it's pretty tough. Standard Alpha's dont fit with a wooden faceplate... at least mine didnt.

Woodcraft.com sells 1/16" thick pieces of hardwood.
