MonstrO Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 So, I recently bought this cab for $200. It's open back on the top with 2 English Vintage 10's and closed back on the bottom with 2 English Vintage 30's on the bottom. The back speaker input panel reads "Made In The United Kingdom". Brown Tolex. Cloth speaker grill. It's almost brand new. I think the previous owner drilled 3 screws to keep the grill from falling off at high volumes due to Velcro strip failure that kept it on from the factory (original Velcro strips still in there and in tact). One screw centered at the top and two on opposing sides on the bottom. This thing is heavy and sounds amazing. Any info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 mmmmmm sounds interesting... There are a few small companies making amps/cabs etc dotted about the UK Could be anybody I'm probably wrong but guessing Cornford.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonstrO Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Oh. Forgot to mention that it's a Gibson Cabinet. Big Gibson logo in the front and on the speaker input plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Is it a Trace Elliot? $200? damn that's a bargain for a British made cab and 4 Celestion speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonstrO Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yea. It says Trace Elliott in the speaker input plate when removed. It also says SGT cab. Isn't Gibson made in USA? What's it's relation to Trace Elliott? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadCase Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 That is the Brown cabinet (there was a Black version later) of the Gibson Super Gold Tone Series. Pretty limited. Joe Perry played them for a while. I love 'em. Great price too BTW. As far as Trace Elliot, I think... they built them according to Gibsons' specs.

What's it's relation to Trace Elliott? Gibson guitars are made in the USA but unlike Fender they don't make amplifiers they simply subcontract them and dicatate the specs. Trace Elliot made amplifiers for Gibson in the UK. Mojotone made/make the current USA Gibson amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
