A friend of mine recently purchased an early 50s Gibson GA-20 amp, and is wondering where/how to get a correct replacement handle for it. Any ideas?

The amp is similar to this one:

Thanks,

Perhaps,some luggage shops might have some,more than reasonable facsimiles,at a much less price than some "custom" shops. Its worth a shot.

I may have to turn to ... Leather Trunk Handles ... for my recent purchase (a '37 Ricky amp).

It doesn't have "pinned" handle loops ... so I gotta go with the "tabbed" ones ...

A couple thoughtful forum members offered up some vintage handles ... but not tabbed ones ... but the gesture was very kind ...
