I bought all new "Fender-style" corners from MojoTone and they don't match. You can see the obvious profile of the old corners embedded in the Tolex where the new corners have a different side cut curve and dont quite cover the old wear marks. They're different enough that unfortunately I wont use these.
Does anyone know where to find better matched replicas? The ones I've found from the online shops I've been buying from all seem to be the same style.

This is for a '67 Showman SF combo amp.

Sets of original NOS Fender corners can still be found on Ebay though they are pricey. An acceptable substitute are those sold by Ernie Ball -- I believe they use the same tooling that originally belonged to Fender.

Don't bother with Fender's contemporary corners -- they're shaped totally wrong and the mounting tabs lack the counter-sunk pockets for the screws.

The P/N for Fender's original corner set is 99-1348-000 and mounting screws are provided.

If you need new sphinx glides, that P/N is 99-3900-000 but beware -- the contemporary glides (they look like stainless-steel bagels) carry the same part number as the originals, which are much smaller in diameter and height.

NONE of those are correct, Stratele.

These are the parts that the OP needs......

These are NOS (note the vintage packaging).

Fender no longer offers these.
