New Mesa Dual Rec Faceplate

[NippleWrestler]

I made this out of flamed vitex from some fingerboard stock lying around. I made 3 fingerboards from half the plank and this is the other half.

It began like this:



Then sanded to 600 and dyed black with Fiebings leather dye.



Sand that back just like you do with flame maple, then 2 coats of walnut stain, then 4 or 5 coats of thinned wiped on poly, sanding between for that chatoyance.

It's a classy looking thing.

"chatoyance".

I learned a thing!
New word, thank you.

And that's one classy looking Mesa.

It ain't maple, it's vitex. Much cooler.

Tremoverbs never had tread plate. They originally came with a basket cloth faceplate that looked really good but was long gone by the time this amp became mine. Other dual recs had the tread, which is a bit much for me tbh.
