Replacement Fender Amplifier Cabinet Manufacturing & Cab Restorations are what Armadillo Amp Works Specializes in & you will not find a better cabinet. 

I have been building repro Fender amplifier cabinets for over 30 years.  My cabs are the most authentic repro cabs you will find anywhere!

 

Your new repro Fender amplifier cabinets will be ready to load your chassis and speakers!  All amp cab reproductions come with a period correct interior finish! Chassis holes, chassis shielding, and lacquered tweed is all included in the price of all of my cabinets.  You will not find this with most other cabinet manufacturers.   I also use hide glue to apply my tweed and tolex. 

Be sure to check out Armadillo Amp Works reviews of custom Fender Amplifier Cabinets that customers have purchased!

Jensen and Weber amplifier speakers are also available to be loaded into

your new replacement cabinets!

I hand build all of my custom  Fender amplifier cabinets and use the best glues and materials to make your Custom Fender replacement cabinet as authentic as possible!

 I use only solid pine(white pine) hand picked boards, with Finger-joint construction for my Fender Amplifier Cabinet reproductions.  This not only helps you achieve the best tone but provides you with very light amplifier cabinets that will last a lifetime!   

I use Northern white pine for the cabinet shells. It is the same species of pine that Fender used back in the day. My Tweed cabs have fir ply baffles like their vintage counterparts. I use a cabinet birch ply for the baffles in brown and blackface cabinets.  Most companies use baltic birch ply for their baffles which in a lot of cases is not good for tone.

The thin fir ply baffles are a giant part of the tone of tweed amplifiers.  One way to kill that great tone is to install a baltic birch baffle, if you ask me it is sacrilegious!

Take a look at this glue I use for typical vintage amp restoration, it is like the old glue that Fender used but no longer does!!

Don’t you want your amp restored with all possible elements being vintage correct?

Well the glue is a big part of it.  It also makes vintage amp restoration a bit more “green”, as it is produced from natural substances.

So whether used on a vintage amp restoration or Fender amplifier cabinets the glue is a big part of my equation for producing the best sounding speaker cabinets.  It is non toxic so it is safe for me to work with and not harmful to mother nature!  When it dries it has a very “woody” characteristic.  It will not dampen your cabinet like most other glues used in the industry.  I use a Pot Devin glue machine to apply the glue to the  tweed or tolex.

One more important reason I use it is that it is “Vintage Correct” which makes for top notch amp restoration!  It will not change the vintage sound of the amplifier cabinet. I have  specialized in vintage amp restoration and Building Custom Fender Style Amplifier Cabinets for over two decades.  I have put together a collection of templates for most of the vintage Fender amplifier cabinets from early tweed amps up to the blackface and silverface amps.  Great tone goes hand in hand with  custom and  replica Amplifier Cabinets.  Vintage tone has become a household name to most guitar players these days and can only truly be produced with a tube amplifier and a well built Custom Guitar Cabinet.

 I apprenticed and worked at Kendrick Amplifiers for a few years back in the mid 1990’s and learned a lot about vintage amp restoration and vintage amps. Understanding the importance of an amplifier cabinets role in the tone equation is essential in building a good sounding amplifier.  Unlike a conventional speaker cabinet, or an acoustical suspension cabinet, a vintage guitar cabinet gets a lot of its tone from the type of wood the cab is made out of. 

Please stay in tune with this site to learn how to get good tone and tips on building your own guitar cabinet. I love playing my Fender Stratocasters through a great tube amp, there is no substitute for tone. There is nothing like solid pine speaker cabinets with a custom tube amp to make it sing! Don’t be fooled by simulations!  A Gibson Les Paul through a Vintage Marshall stack will also do the trick too!! Try putting your American and British Amplifiers together and you’ve really got a  tone monster, the possibilities are limitless!

I can also design you custom amplifier cabinets, or a custom tailored Fender Guitar Cabinet if you have something in mind for a project.

Each one of my Custom Fender Amplifier cabinets is made by hand with lots of love.  I only use the best materials for tonal qualities and workmanship is guaranteed on all amplifier cabinets and vintage amp restoration!  I am one of the only companies to still use the old enzyme glue which doesn’t have a negative effect on tone like many more modern adhesives do, and it is non toxic and environmentally safe. This makes my amp restorations “vintage correct” as well it helps my custom cabinets sound  better.  I never use CNC machines to do my work and will never farm out my work overseas!  This is one area where quality cannot be compromised!  As well my vintage Fender cabinet restorations are top notch and you can be assured that your guitar amplifier is safe with me.

 So whether you need empty speaker cabinets for your amp building project, a recover on a vintage fender amp,  custom and replica Fender Amplifier Cabinets, or maybe you have a rare vintage amp that needs a reproduction guitar cabinet then you have come to the right place for vintage amp restoration.

I have been into vintage guitar amplifier restoration and building Fender Amplifier Cabinets for long enough to know the “tricks” to getting the best possible tone out of a cabinet.

Using the correct type of wood that has been cured properly along with the best glues and joining techniques, as well as understanding sonic applications of cabinet angles and standing waves will produce a very vibrant and resonant cabinet that will complement the best of boutique and vintage amplifiers.  My hands on experience with many types of woods and styles of cabinets, along with all the vintage amp restorations that I have done has given me this knowledge.  I now pass it on to my customers in the form of hand made custom and replica Fender Reproduction Cabinets and top notch vintage amp restorations.

Thanks for considering Armadillo Amp Works for your Vintage Amp Restoration.  I look forward to building your Fender replacement cabinet!
