I think what ET was saying was that Bud was looking at the new Kustom's at NAMM as an observer, not as a representative, and that his "observation" was the they were crap. Judging by their success (or lack thereof) in the market, it was clearly a keen observation.

Why do manufacturers try to save money with particle board vs plywood? I mean, what's the difference in price, at the wholesale level, of a sheet of plywood vs a sheet of particle board - 10 bucks, maybe 15? So for a head speaker cab, it would add maybe $20, $30 tops, to the price? When you're spending $600-$1,000 for a rig, would that little bit REALLY justify the added weight and reduced sturdiness you get with particle board? I can see it now:

Me: "So how much for the 200watt head and 2x15 cabinet"?
Salesman: "$899 for particle board or $929 for plywood"
Me: "you're kidding"
