DIY 12" Guitar Cab with a Celestion Vintage 30

2018, Jan 10    

It’s difficult to find a guitar cab at your taste in term of design… At the end it’s just a big cube! So I decided to build my own.

Also, when you start looking at 12 inches cab, you realized it’s a lot more expensive than just the speaker.

I bought a 12” Celestion Vintage 30 from my local music shop, and found online (on this site: https://nextgenguitars.ca/)

  • corners
  • handle
  • grill cloth
  • jack plate
  • jack socket
  • rubber feet (mainly from this site: https://nextgenguitars.ca/)
  • crimp terminals

I had wood from a previous (cat) project, so I decided to re-use it too.

Also I had some 2”x2” that helped me assembling the cab.

We can’t see on the pictures but I also made a 12 inches hole in another plank of wood for the front side. Then, some colored taint (find the one you like in your usual store).
