beckster Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I am in love with these La Scalas and would like to found out "how they did it" finiis, veneer (oak?), grill support and all the other details. This is the look I am after for my really beat up 1976 La Scalas. Thanks to all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Looks like a custom knockoff to me. Veneer would be very difficult inside the bass bin, its probably best to disassemble and veneer the panels that way or build new ones with pre-veneered plywood sheets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Matthews did several with the same theme. He often called them La Belle or La Bella (LS + Belle) I know he did at least 4 different versions. All kinda cool! Pretty sure he used the cane grill cloth for all of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Here's how you do the fronts. Over lay the plus with a 3/4" wide strip of whatever you veneer with. Looking at the bass horn grilles, I'd say only the visible parts are veneered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
