Mark IIC+ faceplate

[Candrew]

Has anyone identified a fabricator who can make a NOS repro faceplate/control panel for a '84/85 factory IIC+ DRG? I'm buying a combo, but at some point it was serviced & a Mark III faceplate was installed. I want to do a head conversion & would like the correct faceplate. Waiting to hear back from Boogie whether they'll sell me a reissue faceplate, but trying to have a backup plan ... TIA

Mesa would be the only solution. Many IIC+'s have the III faceplate and is "technically" the correct faceplate. Mesa ran out and did not have more of the II faceplates. I had a SRG IIC+ with a III faceplate and a H IIC that I sent to be upgraded to a HG IIC+ in 2022ish that had a III faceplate. Just the way it is with those amps. You may get lucky, but Gibson/Mesa has been very stingy with information and parts.

I have a C+ SG that rumor has it got the last MkII face plate that Mesa had when it got a GEQ added!

Thnx for the reply...I'm buying a new shell for my Rev F from Mesa so maybe they'll be willing to part w/ a RI faceplate
