    I have a couple design ideas and was wondering who does good work at "reasonable" (i.e., doesn't have to be cheap - just not a fortune) prices.

    Suggestions ?

    That is the impression I've gotten from everyone I know who owns one. They are pretty big here in my little canadian town. I guess it depends the extent you want stuff done to.
    Might be worth a try, the cabs are amazing, and from what I've heard he's a pretty easygoing guy. For the right price, I'm sure he could build you what you want.

    I checked his page, looks like he does a lot of cool, unique designs. Probably just what I'm looking for ! Thanks again.

    If you know what you're looking for in a cab, don't hesitate to give Don (at LDS) the details and see what he can offer you. His build quality is darn good.

    From the Avatar website FAQ:

    1. Can you make a custom cab for me? Sorry no, because we have our cabs made for us and our cab suppliers only do large production runs so the cabinets are only available as they appear in the website.

    I did, in the original post -

    Yeah, I know "cheap" to one man is different than "cheap" to another, blah, blah, blah - but as my original post indicated, something that is pretty much "middle of the road" price-wise.
    I don't need a cabinet made from the golden strands of unicorn hair, but I don't want it made from cardboard either.

    One of my 1x15" cabs is a Lopo, and I've already priced some custom stuff from him - just thinking about something different (even though I'm happy with the 1x15" Lopo I have)
