So, I'm looking at the black grille cloth on a K200 2x15 and a K200 3x15 cabinet and the "pattern" appears to be rectangles running horizontally. I see the same on a K150 combo cabinet.
That is, there are groups of several coarse threads which run horizontally and finer threads run vertically in the weave; which to me eye, looks like a pattern of rectangles. On the K200 and K150, the long axis of the rectangle runs from left to right.
On a recent K50 acquisition, the grille cloth looks different, in that these rectangles appear vertical, in that the long axis of the rectangle runs from top to bottom.
The K50 photos I've Googled seem to confirm this vertical pattern, but the resolution and clarity of the photos are not great.
Is the grille cloth on K50s (and maybe K25s) oriented 90° from the grille cloth in other Kustom cabinets?
What say you?
Mike

I don't have any inside information about this, but it could make sense that the smaller combo grills might be covered with the short end cut offs from the larger cabinet grills.
The material itself comes in rolls with the rectangles in a horizontal orientation across the width of the roll. After the cloth was cut for use on a typical 2 or 3 fifteen cabinet there was probably a short piece that wasn't wide enough to use for another fifteen inch cabinet. That could be used for the smaller combos.
