Where are you?

Do a google search for some of these words “decorative aluminium expanded mesh - gold anodised”
Some guys use normal galvanised “gutter” steel mesh painted gold which looks good too and apparently its very cheap?

Cheers

Mike

But its Genuine Marshall..so if you want the real deal tone you gotta have it....also that’s why it has a 1000% markup on it.. :evil:

This is the stiff... about 3$ a 6" X 24" strip. Comes in silver or Black and looks pretty convincing. You can paint it if you want... I just leave it black...

I didn't know it also comes in back. Been using the silver stuff painted black for some builds.

I passed this on many years ago on the yahoo forum. Most hardware stores or Lowes has it. Gutter guard. Paint it, or use it silver looking.
Although... Brian Wallace told me, Home depots gutter guard has the best tone.. :)

You can use the marshall stuff..its expensive,and years ago you couldn't get it. You can get the correct mesh grill..look for "expanded metal"
Comes in different sizes and types of metal. Again,some of it is a little expensive for just a small piece.
