Neale Amplifiers does not have a standard range of guitar amplifiers yet. However, our custom made amps generally fall into a number of standard categories, with the final pricing determined by power, number of channels, cosmetic finish, and options like reverb and tremolo.
Using this information, we have prepared a set of pricing guidelines that will give you a rough idea of what a custom built Neale Amplifier might cost, subject to your final requirements and selected cosmetic features.
Our prices include the following items as standard features:
pine cabinets, 3/4" (18mm) pine for combos and separate cabinets, 1/2" ply for small heads, 3/4" ply or pine for wide heads.
locally available vinyls with a choice of colours and finishes. We can import the standard brand name tolex for an additional cost.
cabinets are individually made, so we can make pretty much any style you like (our price guidelines assume a standard cabinet design, but we can accommodate special requirements).
grill cloth with your choice of colour. We haven't been able to find an Australian grill cloth manufacturer yet, so all of the grill cloths are imported.
a laser etched control panel with a choice of graphics and colours, where you get to approve the design and layout.
a 2.0mm aluminium chassis, turret punched and precision bent.
factory wound power and output transformers from a variety of sources.
new valves, or tested-good-emission used valves.
some new-old-stock valves are available, at premium prices (subject to availability).
hand wired circuitry, using either tag strips, turret boards, or through-hole PCBs.
specially selected components and hardware.
we can supply a range of speakers.
These price guidelines should help you specify an amp to meet your budget. Please contact us by email at any time, and we will be pleased to help you work up a final design and give you a quote.
