Garrard 401 Custom
Audio Cabinet
This Custom Audio Cabinet was designed specifically to house a Garrard 401 Turntable. Crafted from Curly Cherry, Wenge, and Glass, it combines elegant materials with functional design. The lid features special hinges that hold it securely open, while touch-latch glass doors on the bottom provide a clean, handle-free look. Both side panels also open on touch latches, allowing easy access for wire management. Adding a distinctive artistic touch, F-holes were hand-carved into the doors and drawer fronts, giving this cabinet a subtle nod to classic stringed instruments.
This Cabinet, like all of Joel’s pieces, is custom-made, giving you the freedom to personalize every detail, including size, layout, and wood selection.
