Re: Who Makes Good Cab Corners?
I have used the Key Parts cab corners, and others as well. I have yet to find one that doesn't need extensive rework to fit half way decent.

Just saying, of the brands that are out there in my opinion KeyParts is one of the better ones I've used. I get it man, they're all pretty bad but to me, KeyParts are on the upper end of quality thickness, etc. They're all going to require some work.

I can't say I can disagree with you on that one. Especially in their thickness.

My cab corners appear to fit great so far, they are tabco, however, I havent burned them in yet. Made in USA.
