Fitted new gorilla cloth to my Princeton.

[Uncle Daddy]

I scored some gold sparkle grill cloth cheap from KLD on Reverb so thought I'd have a go at redoing my PR. What a pain! By the time I'd wrestled with it, stapled it on off on off on again it felt like I'd done a couple of rounds with Chuck Norris.
Different, but my internal jury is withholding judgement. It's a bit more gold than it looks in the pictures.

Great job.

That looks *excellent* - grill cloth is a PAIN no matter how you do it.

 

[brookdalebill]

Well done!

Looks pretty good and that gold is actually pretty close to many BF aged ones which became gold over time.!

Nice job, well done. And at least in pics, it looks pretty close to the vintage (can you say nicotine-stained?) cloth on my BF VC:

That looks great!

Nice work! I've redone grille cloth on a couple Marshall cabs and it it's always way harder than it seems like it should be. I agree with the others; that gold weave cloth looks very close to the way the originals aged. I don't think it looks out of place at all.

 

[----RIP----]

It's unanimous--looks great!

Very nice job! Beautiful amp!

I finally bought an electric stapler to take some of the chore out of installing. More than once I thought I had finished, and installed the baffle, only to see a little bobble in the lines!

I have found the secret to successfully installing grill cloth is to be married to a painter with extensive experience stretching canvas and framing all sorts of things. I'm not sure I'd be able to get it done any other way.

Holy poo, how did you get that so straight and even?

Nice job. I know you are asking about the color, but it looks find in the shots you provided.

Nice work, that amp looks great. I admit I saw the thread title and initially clicked on it out of curiosity, thinking “how perverse!” and wanting to see a Princeton re-imagined as a

That looks fantastic.

Actually better than some amps I've seen straight from the factory.

Nice job!

 

[Uncle Daddy]

Gratuitous gut shot!

Oh, yeah... decades ago the magic smoke escaped from mine. I noted that the dimensions were perfect for picking it up by the handle and putting it directly into a medium-sized trash basket.

No, this is a clone.

I have a BF prototype 1x15 Pro that is even better done than @Uncle Daddy’s excellent job that we see above.
