Hey guys, I'm having a tough time finding someone local to make a custom faceplate that fits my Fender Twin Reverb. The faceplate is 24 3/8" wide and all the guys I talk to say they can only make 24" for their maximum width.
I'm splitting my Twin Reverb into 2 pieces (Head Cab and Speaker Cab) and I'm looking to have a new faceplate made for the Twin. Any ideas on where to get this done? I did find one metal guy in Chicago, but he wanted big bucks to make it and then silk screen the markings on the faceplate.
Thanks,
Mark |

The new Fender plates have holes to small, must be drilled out. Also the finish is flatter looking. Not to mention more expensive than the plates Chris makes. His look like and fit like an original Blackface plate. |

Ken - Does Chris make them custom sizes...or do custom layouts?
I'm curious as I have an old V4 head with no plate, heavily modified...and I'd like to get something made for it, hopefully without spending an arm and leg. _________________ No chops, but great tone
