Hey everybody,
I have a question on the 2x12 and 2x15 cabinets that came with the metal face amps.
These cabinets are the ones that have the grill cloth with the silver thread and the cabs are straight - not angled (less deep at the top) like the earlier cabinets.
(Isn't it real odd that Kustom went from a straight amp cabinet to a slant amp cabinet and from a slant speaker cabinet to a straight speaker cabinet at the same time? (Both changes happened in August 1971) ....Another one of the Kustom mysteries.)

Anyway - here is my question - are the straight cabinets with silver thread grill cloth all plywood construction?
If not - what parts are particle board? - maybe the back?
Thanks,
Les
