Clapperton Guitar Cabinets

Clapperton Guitar Cabinets Clapperton Cabinets offers fine, handcrafted guitar and bass cabinets as well as custom pedalboards, head enclosures and road cases.. Come give one a try.

All of our cabinets start with hand selected Baltic Birch ply throughout for unmatched durability. Dovetail joinery provides a rock solid carcass that can withstand almost any form of beating. Poplar face frames are precision mitered and glued (not screwed) to the carcass for a one piece box that not only features an amazing aesthetic, but a rattle free foundation for the loudest playing situation

s. I use old school cane grill cloth for both its beauty and it sonic properties, providing just enough diffusion to tame the wild high mids found in the speakers that most rock and rollers favor. All guitar models come stock with WGS Veteran 30/ et-65speakers. WGS is an American company producing speakers on par with models we have come to love but have since been farmed out to overseas factories. Sorry but it's just not the same. Check out their video and sound bytes. They really speak for themselves. Cabinets are finished with my favorite waterbased dyes, sealers and clears. While water based finishes may not add the "depth" of traditional solvent based finishes, it does offer all of the same protection and durability while keeping our manufacturing footprint as low as possible. Like Henry Ford said, " The customer can have any color he wants as long as it's black". My cabinets are simple, elegant and utilitarian. Most importantly, they sound great!

Taking a small outbuilding from a cold, mildew covered shed to a warm feeling and sounding room for recording music.

Scope of work:
-Remove all interior, built in shelving and furniture.
- Create an interior 2x4 frame over the existing walls to create a 10” deep square skeleton to mount tongue and groove paneling, as well as create an air and insulation gap to reduce noise traveling outside the building and unwanted noise from entering during recording.
-Re-Case and trim the new 10” window wells.
-Add an interior nitch/faux window that will be converted into a window to the neighboring building during a future phase of studio construction.
-Create easily removable, insulated, window inserts to help soundproof the windows during recording.
-Create a new worktop from the customer provided large fir 2x12 stock.
-Move electrical outlets to a single plane
-Flash exterior doors to fix water ingress
-Replace dangerous, burnt, improperly installed wiring to exterior lighting.
-Trim studio floor to ceiling with the same tight knot pine.

Just built myself a fresh 4x10 and bought an old Ampeg for an ongoing band project and then a friend of mine dropped this ultra rare Sunn Coliseum 880s and 2x15 into my lap. Merry Xmas indeed.

No matter how I shoot it, it always looks like my grill cloth is bunched up when I take shots in my shop. Any tips photogs?
