Hey guys, just thought I'd get some opinions on stain color for the latest 213 clone. I still need to sand the cab a bit, but it's pretty much done and I wasn't sure if I should go traditional magnatone brown type stain, or a weathered grey barn board type of finish. Here's some pics:







Feel free to add pics if you've got any suggestions.

my vote is grey!

Get a few pieces of scrap wood and try a few different stains to see how they turn out! and post a pic too if possible! Id say stain/spray it in a burst pattern like a les paul! only joking, but a vintage burst would be class! lol

So I went with the grey, and it turned out pretty cool, check it:

Looks great.

Great amp.

Where did you find those old blue caps? They look spiffy.

They came out of the Magnatone TC-1 organ I bought from a fellow member here. No wonder everyone loves those blue caps, I tested them all and not a single leaky one in the bunch, even after fifty years.
