There has to be more than 2 guys of this forum that would jump on a preorder for a 412 Naked Scumback cab. Jim, whats the number of cabs that make this profitable to do a limited run?

I think Jim has been in the process of selling his company and retiring, hasn’t he?

Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I’m guessing that the excellent sound of the vintage Marshall cab might have something to do with the wood itself?

You’re welcome.
I think the final end result is the sum of many: material, construction / assembly, then aging / what each particular cab has been throught over the years / decades when talking about old cabs… and of course the speakers themselves, where the same applies.
Lots of tiny potential variables.

Where are you located? If you’re not in the US that may influence your options.

You're absolutely right. I believe every single detail contributes to the final difference in tone. As I'm in Asia, I basically have to buy new cabinets directly from the brands—most second-hand sellers don’t support international shipping.

I've tried different builders, they just don't it right. They think my cabs should be like Dave Friedman's cabs, even though I had given them a NAKED cab & a covered cab to use as reference. So I gave up trying, sorry.

I'm lucky that I'm so close to Jeff Swanson!
