Suede Dumbles

Here are a couple ODS cabs I put some suede on. This is the real stuff.

How much do you guys pay for suede? Here it's real pricey!

Got 16 sq ft in today, it was around $57 shipped. That blue Italian suede that that I posted was about $75 shipped for 11 sq ft.

The price is all over the place, it depends on thickness and brand. There is garment suede that I like the best. It's reasonable.

Taylor, the stuff I received today is .050 thick, somewhat thicker than the Italian. Is there a thickness that you find just a bear to work with?

Yeah I like it pretty thick. I'm not sure the thickness though, I'll see if one of my samples has a tag on it. its "garment suede" that I order. It's a little thicker than pig suede

Here is it, the entire piece is pretty good except for a rough 3x4 section near an edge. I guess i'll send this to you along with some cloth.

Taylor - what do you use for adhesive on the real stuff? (They look fantastic by the by!)

Wilsonart H2O water based contact cement. You can get it at Home Depot under the laminates. works great.

Suede is a dirt magnet. Hardwood is outstanding.
So far at shows people say you sound great nothing about the D style amp.
I play the hardwood amps out people crowd around and bla, bla, amp bla, bla amp.
I showed my Doctor the suede amp she asked why did I waste my time?
Same thing with the tolex covered amps. I’m like WTF?
Back to hardwood for the future D builds, you don’t ever want to argue with my Doctor
It’s a losing proposition. I think the suede and tolex covering look fine.

Thanks for the help and suggestions everybody. Here's a head and 2X12 cab I just finished. Design was inspired by the Tom McGrath rig that Vintone did several years ago. I ended up using upholstery faux suede (still waiting the Alcantara I ordered three weeks ago to arrive. )

That looks great. Ambitious project as well!

[ToneMerc]

That looks sweet, excellent job.

Mighty fine work. Taylor comes highly recommended from me.
