Can anyone recommend someone who could build me a custom headshell for my DC5? Mine's looking pretty beat up these days and I'd really love to replace it with a nice hardwood/wicker shell. I guess a retolex in another color (white?) plus redoing the grill with wicker would be another option. I love the amp, but it could use a bit of an aesthetic overhaul.
 
After a little research, I'm finding maybe the DC-5 shell is the same size as the Mark IV widebody shell. Can anyone confirm this?
 
The IV widebody head shell will definitely work. I have put several DC-5 & .50 Cal heads into IV combo cabs.
The only thing to keep in mind is that the DC's metal bar may not work because on the IV, the footswitch attaches to the back of the head cab. I seem to remember it will work with a slight modification, but it's been a few years.

GTS, here on the board was making head cabs. You might shoot him a PM and see if he is still doing it.
