Ok After I saw what Rick Johnson rickjohnson@setel.com built for Lloyd Green; well, I just had to have some for myself to go with my Green LDG.

sorry about the lighting as I just snapped a couple shots of the stuff on my way from the car to the house..ha
I can't begin to tell you how perfect these are. Rick is a stickler for extreme detail; as every part is perfectly constructed to fit and the Green Tolex and Gold Grill cloth is so perfectly done, I'm almost speachless(yeah right; me speachless..ha)

I played a gig with this rig last night and these cabinets are made out of "PINE" as they should be and I probably don't have to tell you of HOW WONDERFUL THEY SOUND; if you have stuff made out of Pine; but if you don't; weeeeellllll.....ha.
Thank you Rick Johnson; you are a Brilliant Designer and a Genious craftsman and thank you Lloyd Green for turning me onto this Awesome Man.

Beautiful!
Have you weighed the head?

(I'm guessing 38 lb.)

Guess again, Joey--my Dual Showman Reverb must weigh close to 50 lbs. and this ought to be the same.

Fender Head Cabinet> 42 lbs.
Speaker cab. with JBL D-130> 28 lbs.
Speaker cab. with JBL K-130> 29 lbs.

That's the exact weight of my stuff.
My Fender head is a 1970 Silver Face Twin Reverb that Marty Muse Blackfaced for me years ago and I now have all Jan-phillips Tubes in it and Bill Terry re-serviced and put all new caps and bla bla in it within this last year.
Both my JBL's are original 8 ohm 1968 Speakers worth a Bazzillion Dollars...ha

Hey Ricky,
I forgot to tell you in my last reply , just how really beautiful those speakers really are and for a great guy too!
Now with all of that being said.....Did Lloyd play through those yet, and if he did , were there any of his fantastic sounds and awesom licks left in there? LOL
Thanks
Gene

Gene those are Open back. Also; the picture above are of MY cabinets....and Lloyd Green has his own and loves them as I do. I had Rick make me some after I saw Lloyd's as here is a picture of Lloyd's stuff Rick Built him and was my inspiration to have Rick build me some after seeing THIS.

Also Rick Johnson just built Bruce Bouton a cabinet and he digs too.
Oh and yes the turnaround on Rick making anyone something is OUTSTANDING and the packaging and shipping is 1st class man.
