Seeking Gibson 1948-lookin' grill cloth

Post by DeathJag » Thu Jan 04, 2024 8:29 am

Welp, I could not resist purchasing a 1948 Gibson BR-4 amp on this last trip. It just sounded way too good. It's been serviced and truly sounds incredible. Very warm yet with strident midrange and a super tight bass. I want to do a NAD post but I hate the replacement grill cloth. I can't share a photo because it's a Fender 70s reissue grill cloth and it looks awful.

So, I'm seeking a grill cloth that might resemble the original:

I was able to find some super cool grill cloths like this one at Radio Daze. However the amp has a 12" speaker so these grill cloths might be like one inch short! The baffle is a square piece that's about the same size as the 12" speaker, so I feel a 13x13 would work, whereas a 12x12 won't. These come in 12" squares so I might be out of luck with this place anyhow.

Any help would be super appreciated!

I followed the link and the cloths can be bought at 15”x25” or 25”x25” as an option.
