Tolex used on TR John Mayer head

Post by Guitarman18 »

Does anyone know or seen where you can get the tolex used on the TR Mayer head? It's described as 'Gun Metal Gray Carbon Fiber Covering', but after seaching for quite some time now, I still can't see anything similar for sale.

Thanks in advance if you can help on this one. :D

It is covered with carbon fiber. I don't think it is tolex.

Whoops. :oops: That would explain why I can't find it in tolex listings. Thanks for that.

I recall a post by rfgordon with pictures of an amp that had a covering that changed colors depending on the angle of view. I think he had a link to the supplier. I checked it out and found the carbon fiber styled tolex/vinyl was available from that supplier. I believe this type of covering was for automotive use.

Also there is a guy on ebay that used to have head cab kits that had as an option carbon fiber style coverings. He no longer sells the head kits but you could contact him by his ebay name ( widgetworks_unlimited ) and see if he has any covering left over or provide you with the name of the product/supplier.

A friend of mine bought one in black and it looked really nice.

The material I am refering to is not carbon fiber but a vinyl reproduction.

Hope some of this helps

Regards

I bought a pair of shoes from a drug dealer the other day. I dunno what he laced them with but I’ve been tripping all day,
