WTB: Mesa Headshell - Hardwood / wicker (Short head)

[Thaymz]

Hi

I'm looking to buy a headshell for a mark iic. Wanting a hardwood wicker as shown in the ad on my local classifieds.

Pic 1 in the ad is my ideal.

Preferences:

- Inbuya / Bubinga / Walnut (or any other in this medium to dark colour range)
- Figured (Level of figure can range from minimal to some)
- Mesa original preferred but open to aftermarket

Musts:
- Short head
- Needs fan and reverb cutout

I live in Australia but can have items shipped to US if you prefer not to ship global. Thanks in advance!

Cheers
Themi

This guy will make you a custom head for about $250.00 with hardwood, $145.00 pine.

Be careful of that one for sale on Reverb. It says it is for a IIA or IIB. The bolt hole spacing is wider on the original Mark I, IIA, and early IIB chassis. Its not much, but enough to not work if you are trying to install a later IIB, IIC, III, IV .

Thanks Joey. I was actually looking at that one but do recall the difference in spacing on the iib and earlier so let it pass. While I’ll probably have to be a bit flexible since there aren’t many around the colour of the hardwood was a little light for my liking.
