1) first he recommended a Fender cab to go with the head for asthetics
2) second he told me to basically try for very close to original specs (think measurements and wood type ... solid vs plywood, finger joints vs cheaper ways to make wood joints, etc) with a few updates (?..splained in a bit) to try for as close to a vintage sound as possible and the fact he uses a newer type of glue that he believes is better than the original type. he did say he uses original types of finger joints and wood types in all his constructions and that he uses tighter tolerances than Fender did originally
3) third he answered my dumb question "like what is a tone ring?" ... which was Fenders way of porting a cabinet ... and repopping those tone ring mounts gets expensive
4) fourth and last his lead time is about 7-10 days to a customers door.
he did not make any specific speaker recommendations as i
a) didn't ask and
b) i told him what type i had to work with already
he does offer options as aged grill cloth, tone rings mounts, colors of tolex and possibly others but i didn't get into options very much
ciao ... the pup
