How the customisations work
Welcome to the Barefaced Custom Shop! Everything at Barefaced Audio is made to order, so you can have your cab your way.
The limitations of our website means that you can only choose limited options on the cab "products" so customisations have to be added to your order as separate products. They can be ordered separately as long as you ensure we know which cab in our order queue they need to be applied to!
Custom orders cannot be returned or refunded once production has begun. The only exceptions are guitar cabs with custom Celestion drivers (or unloaded cabs with standard machining) as we can swap the drivers on any returned orders.
Please note that we do not sell guitar speakers on their own, they have to be fitted into our cabs when they leave the factory. The price we charge is the upgrade cost from the stock driver, not the cost of the speaker.
Many of our guitar customers choose a custom driver from Celestion:
Celestion 10", 12" and 15" guitar drivers
You can have an empty cab and fit your own speakers:
Unloaded Barefaced AVD guitar cabs
Or if you'd like to have a custom non-Celestion fitted then we can get in many speakers from the following companies:
WGS 10", 12" and 15" guitar drivers
Eminence 10", 12" and 15" guitar drivers
Jensen 10", 12" and 15" guitar drivers
Fane 10", 12" and 15" guitar drivers
If you're not sure which speaker you want, you can order a selection to try at home/rehearsal/gig and only keep your favourite(s):
NEW!!! UK only - Celestion guitar speaker home trial
If none of our standard AVD guitar cabs do what you want, we have versions for stereo, bi-amping, mixed drivers, lower tunings or baritone guitars. And if we don't do what you need, we're always interested in solving unique sonic or musical problems so do get in touch!
Specialist AVD guitar cab customisations
Or if your amp head just feels the wrong size for one of our cabs - for instance if you have a small box Marshall style head you want to put on a 1x12" or a Two Rock head you want to stack on a vertical 2x12", check out our custom AVD cab sizes:
Barefaced 10CR and 12XN only in bass cabs!
We do not offer custom drivers in any Barefaced bass cabs. If you're wondering why, there's hours of reading here and hours of viewing on youtube to explain!

At some point we'll put together a comprehensive gallery of the custom cosmetics we've done on guitar and bass cabs over the years, but in the meantime have a look at our Instagram and Facebook photos:

If you think of anything else you'd like have a chat to us, we like creativity! A few of our models were introduced after someone approached us with a specific need.
