Mike is a great guy, and has built several for non standard cabs.
(Reasonably priced too!)

howdie y'all!
Josh asked me to make a guide / tutorial about combo cab building. The 1st issue was for a F*nder type combo, but I have changed it to a more appropriate type of combo cab build.
Pictures of actual building in progress and special tutorials about tolexing and grill cloth-ing will follow in a while...

For anyone who’s interested, this is my method for getting a well aligned front top board. Instead of putting a lot of effort into hand cutting the recess for a front controlled combo cab, I make the top board 18mm narrower than the rest of the boards. Then I cut 2 identical wedge forms and glue them to the front side. Works like a charm!
