To me those are not "traditional". They look very nice and would work fine for most folks. The clean cut of the multiple boards slapped together mitre jointed of Ken's amps. It just has that trainwerck look you know?

I take it no one is making an accurate head shell? Even JM doesn't try for a period correct shell. Im going to give it a shoot. Shouldn't be too bad and fairly cheep it I screw it up.

Personally, I prefer the fingers or dovetails. They're a stronger joint.

I use Drawer lock joints Plenty strong and looks way better Personally I think dovetails and box joints are ugly.

Jon, you found a cab maker! Nice cab, Cbass.

cbass - That's bloody Gorgeous! I'm sure those joints are plenty strong. Maybe I said that to mollify myself - I can't do miter joints.
