I see one or two formumites here have Monzas covered in green tolex? I don't see that listed as an option on Z's site. Is the green a custom cover job? Also, is the green like a hunter green or is it more of a lizard/surf green?
I ust off-loaded some rarely used gear and have the funds to go Monza shoppin'. Gonna go with the 10" combo with the red fang & BL, but am wavering on the color. I've always been a black tolex amp person, but I'm a sucker for surf green (I love Brayks pedalboard).
Can anyone fill me in on the green?

I believe one of the dealer shops had another shop customize surf green cabinets in a few different models.

I have a surf green Monza 112: it's totally sick. In a good way. Humbucker owns the tolex, evidently, and Dr. Z uses it on special order custom cabs only available from Humbucker. It's the only color you can get except for their standard three: black, red, and blonde. Here's mine--the value's pretty close to the real deal here, in contrast with the red and the blonde.

Thanks for posting the pics. Great looking set of amps.
I don't know why, but that line up of amps reminds me of spumoni ;D

Can anyone fill me in on the green? Why are you the only dealer(Humbucker's) that sells the Dr. Z amps in Surf Green This goes back several years. If you've browsed our website much, you'll know that we're in love with retro greens. We stock unique pedals from Diamond, Keeley, Dr. Scientist, and others, that we had special runs made in Surf or Seafoam green. We have the *only* Surf Green MESA Boogie amps ever made coming to us now. In our store, we stock all the Surf Green Fender guitars we can get our hands on. We admit, we're a little silly about it. As for the Dr. Z's, we tried for a couple years to get them to do a couple amps in Surf Green, but they were adamant about sticking to the Black, Red, and Blonde colors. After much begging and pleading, Dr. Z reluctantly said he'd be open to the idea as long as we committed to a respectable quantity, which made sense to us since we knew he didn’t want to get into special one off runs for everyone and their brother. Then we found out another problem... New Surf Green tolex didn't exist. . A quick search in forums back then showed the demand was there, but no one could find any. Fender's last run on the Bronco finish was done many years ago, and no one had stocked it in a decade or longer. We contacted the primary tolex manufacturer, and they wanted 36 beams of tolex minimum to run a custom color. That's $10,000 in tolex. Yes. Ten thousand dollars! So... We partnered with Mojo Supply on an order and split it. They took 18 beams of Bronco finished tolex, and we took 18 beams of Nubtex (the finish on all Dr. Z amps). By the way, if you need any Surf Green tolex, we have plenty. It's $12 a yard. Give us a ring!
