Nice!
Did that thing get shipped just like that? Crazy!
:lol: Guess the UPS guy didn't need a new cabinet! :lol: I would have been tempted to take it home.
Yeah isn't that crazy Andy.
Sender just stuck the Fedex (or UPS) address label on it and sent it with no packaging!

Unreal job on that G. :D

Thanks BB. :D
 
That is nice ... :p

... but remember, I think Soldano was the first to use snake skin if I'm not mistaken. Then Randall.

I'm not entirely sure that's correct. The very first Mark I (if my sources are valid) was a 1x12 snakeskin combo in 1969 and IIRC soldano wasn't founded until the 80's.

:oops: You're correct. My Bad. In 1977 when I order my first brochure from MESA Boogie because at that time you could not purchase Boogies at any retail, you had to order from them, they had picture of an early Boogie in snakeskin. The sides were lined in white.

I'll try to scan pictures.

:shock:

George: Are you using the same packaging to return the finished product? :lol:
Good one Frank! :lol:

I've never been a fan of snakeskin, but those units are truly eye-catching.
Yes they truly are eye catching.

I recently made a new headshell for someone on the board using a different colored snakeskin.
That one was very cool and eye catching as well.
I'll post some pics at some point but the new owner may beat me to it.
He got the headshell yesterday. The color really is a stunner!
