Eco-Friendly Hemp Guitar Cabinet Hits The Market Cary Jul 20th

Hard Truckers, the ambitious folks who managed to design, build, and maintain the Grateful Dead’s infamous 26,400-watt Wall of Sound (both on and off tour,) have introduced a new eco-friendly speaker cabinet made of pressed hemp, covered in renewable bamboo, and boasting two 12†Tone Tubby Hempcone Speakers.

Aimed at professional guitar players and weekend warriors alike, “The Fatty†is being billed as an environmentally friendly and truly sustainable alternative to generic extension cabinets.

The cabinet, which is built of 3â„4†hemp board, features an open back design, protective and stylish hardwood edging (maple or vermilion on the base model; cocobolo, birds eye maple, mahogany and koa available as options,) finished road-worthy bamboo siding, two front-mounted 12†Tone Tubby Hempcone Speakers with specially milled Hard Truckers aluminum speaker clamps and “quick†disconnects, and a single Neutrik locking1â„4†jack with latch release.

“The Fatty†also sports a protective cover made of baltic birch, and held in place by rare earth magnets––but for the true deadhead Hard Truckers offers a full assortment of custom tie-dye and batik grill covers.

The perfect gift for the green guitar player who has everything.

the steel player in NRPS plays through an original 2x12 from the wall of sound. I was watching Sunshine daydream yesturday and that first grill cloth looks identical to those used in the show.

You can buy replacement hemp-fiber drivers from Weber - very tough material, they are making repro's for lots of speakers...
