How thick is the plywood used in Rectifier cabs?

[Rex Rocker]

Some places say it's 3/4". The Mesa site states this about the Lone Star cabs:

They share the same 5/8" void-free Baltic Birch ply as our Rectifier® cabinets to create the resonant signature and road-tough construction that’s landed Mesa® cabs on the biggest stages around the globe.

So can any of you guys with Recto cabs please confirm which is it? Are they as thick as Orange cabs or as thin as Marshall cabs? Thank you.

Orange cabinets look thicker because of the buildup most cabs are 5/8

Pretty sure Orange cabs are 18mm (3/4") vs 15mm (5/8") for Marshall. I have both.

I've never opened my Mesa Rectifier cabinet and likely never will unless there is a mechanical failure. It's been sealed from the factory since I bought it new in 2004.

The outer shell of a Recto Standard is well over an inch thick. Which part should be 3/4"? The baffle?

The Recto headshell is about 5/8" thick, but I'm pretty sure that's not what they mean. FWIW the Thiele cab I have here is about 3/4" thick.

The back panel is 18 mm of plywood.

I pulled my Stiletto cab apart years ago. It is not 3/4", I know that because I made my own cab using 3/4" and it was thicker.

I just measured the front double thick part is 30mm.
