New Amp Handle Day!

So pleased with this, really nice quality. Finishes the amp off just nice. Ordered it from Rocky River Leather in the US  for anyone that might be interested. http://rockyriverleather.com/content/

What's the amp?

Ah - I can see the photo now. Nice!

You might want to see if you can find a better link on their website - otherwise it looks a bit spam-like, given that they seem to mostly make belts and gun accessories… and this isn't TGP .

Ha! it's the guy that makes the handles for Carr amps. Pricing is very reasonable. The amp is a Bogner New Yorker, I was selling it on here, but now keeping.

Why, does everyone here wear braces?

I'm absolutely thrilled for you.
We don't have enough new amp handle days around here.

That's what I thought. It's the simple things.....rather than get caught up with tonewoods and alnico this and alnico that. Just get ya self a new handle!

Have a wow because it's a nice handle.

It is actually an important point that a nice handle can make a big difference to how easy it is to carry an amp - or more accurately, a bad one can make an amp seem much heavier and more awkward to move than it really is.

I always go on about this, but my 98lb Mesa Trem-o-verb is a lot easier to lift than many amps which weigh far less, purely because it has a good handle.

Some of the crap ones that get fitted on lower-priced amps seem almost purposely designed to trap your fingers or cut into them.
