Mesa Boogie Mark series question

Hey everybody, I have an opportunity to pick up a mesa boogie mark IV head, it's in snake skin, to be honest, I don't really like it, but I really do like those imbuya/bubinga and AAAquilted with wicker grille look.

those are some pictures! Does anyone know how much it would cost to replace my snaked skin mark IV with hardwood? do you think I could sell the chasis I have now ? ??

you would be best off selling the snake chasis and ringing up mesa custom shop and getting them to make wat yuou want..

Hey nick, I randomly came across this site today that makes hardwood cabinets for boogies and fenders. vintageboogie.com I dont know where it is based, but they have some nice stuff. Good luck, it might get pricey.

Great! I figured it was going to be pricey and all. Why must all good things in life be expensive !!! * girls, amps, guitars * :roll:

anyways thanks for the replies shep and kenzie!

Last time I checked, it was around $ 700.00.

Last time I checked, it was around $ 700.00.

It costs $700 US to buy a hardwood cabinet for my mark IV head that's in imbuya or bubinga with a wicker grille? Do I send it to them and they send it back or do I install it myself?

I was thinking of getting something from www.vintageboogie.com , how would i get the wicker grill on it? does anyone know how much a snake skin cabinet for a mark IV head ( or any mark head would go for?

Sorry I'm real new to this head thing!
