Buying combo cabinet.. advice!

[soma_hero]

I'm buying an 18W combo cab for my liverpool combo. I found this guy on ebay, Sour Mash Guitars, who sells one for $205. See here.

He said he could make it for 2X12 though that auction is for a 1X12. He builds them for order. Has anyone heard of this builder before? The cabinets are 3/4" birch with lap joints, glued and screwed. I'm not very experienced with carpentry so is this the usual way of joining the wood?

The other option is a Ryhme cabinet. There are two 2X12 models, the Blues Jack Studio of the Blues Jack Heirloom. The only difference I could read is that the Heirloom has a little fancier trim and tolexed corners. Has anyone used these enclosures before?

Any advice on these cabs is appreciated. Parts are slowly coming in, I'm so excited to get started on this thing!

I bought a Sourmash 1x12 fairly recently. He did a very nice job on the tolex, better than the Weber cab I bought last year The speaker cutout was not as perfectly round as it should have been, but I managed to mount the speaker securely. It's a very lightweight cabinet, but it feels and seems rather durable. Can't beat the price -- and he ships quickly! I will be doing business with him again.
