Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)

Well, actually not quite that strong! I'm talking about wood trim on amps or preamps? Some of the wood appears to be quite beautiful, but I think that it looks "wrong" and I dislike wood trim! I'm taking an informal poll: Hate= Would NEVER own with wood trim Dislike= Would prefer no wood trim Neutral= I could care less Like= Would prefer wood trim Love= MUST have wood trim Also, if you live outside of the USA, would you please indicate so and your country, [if you feel comfortable giving this info]? I'm just curious about preferences, and also to see if they vary in other countries! Fatparrot  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 03-15-05
