I'd like to get an ebony one, but then the V would be gone
make your own, stain it the same as the cab, burn a skull into it!
I've contemplated building a new shell though

I used a medium grit sanding block for about 10 minutes, but I guess I didn't get past the sealant. I'll probably try again really soon!

It had crossed my mind for sure, but then I asked myself 'how blasphemous would it be to put a Verellen in an Emperor shell?' hahahah

Emperor is being weird about making headshells for other peoples amps since their amps have come out, just a lil FYI.

Yep. They wouldn't have any interest in rehousing a competitor like Verellen either since the two have had some past disagreements regarding amps.
The Emperor shell would still run around $300 tho. Mammoth does great work. Dunwich Nick has headshell dude that charges around $135 IIRC. Also the guy who built Nick's baritone, TJ aka TheWoodWizard on HCFX, could probably knock it out at a reasonable price...

true love and happiness (Al Green) is when you can crank your amp to break windows level, and NOBODY complains.
