Hi all

I have recently bought a 73 Silverface deluxe reverb. It came with black front grille cloth and I want to change it to the correct grille cloth.

I want to know what colour I should use? Silver with blue stripe or silver with turqoise stripe? What is appropiate for the period?

Appreciate any help :)

/Thomas

Silver with the blue stripe is period correct. To verify go ampwares.com and check their Fender amp pages.

Many thanks. Tried ampwares but could not find exact specs on grille cloth. Photos were very low res, too.

Thank you for your help.

hey....I looked at my DR closer and it had Orange thread through the grill cloth. It is so nicotined out that I just figured it was blue thread. So I don't know for certain.....Fender always did some funny stuff based on what they had left in stock.....

Hi

Thanks for the info... Yeah, sounds like a mixed bag at Fender's. 70's haze maybe :wink:

I'll make some enquiries. Think I'll go for the blue striped one for the sake of being true to the period after all.

Cheers
