Is this the most beautiful amp you've ever seen?

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this may not be everyones cup of tea, but I love the look of their "studio" line. I guess it's the woodworker in me that comes out when I see their stuff, but I think I could handle this amp! Their regular stuff is rather, well yellow. Not in a markbass accent yellow, but YELLOW.




These last 2 are guitar cabs, but still gorgeous!

I used to have a re-cased Fender Twin that looked like that. At first it was spiffy. I kinda got tired of it to be honest, just like I would a black tolex one. That is to say, I just never noticed after awhile. It faded into the background. So to me there's no real benefit.

The most beautiful head I've seen was the best sounding head I've played through.

So many jokes... But I'm a good, Mod fearing, member.

I see the appeal of them.

Google "unique wood amplifiers". There's a lot of interesting stuff out there, and I haven't found the really cool stuff that I wanted to post.

Looks heavy. Head is cool in a unique way. Something I would have in a home studio or something. Definitely not a gigging head.

I want to look, cause i have a hunch these are just repackaged WEBER kits...

Looks an awful lot like a Weber amp in a hardwood box.....

Google Yellow Cab Amplification

Not quite what I would look for in a amp / cab.

Cool looking but too "pretty" I think, not my cup of tea. Now something like an old '60's B-15 head, that's what I'd call beautiful...

I think they're pretty cool. Not for travel, hence the "studio" label. If i had a studio, i'd get em...if they sound good.

If I ever have a natural wood studio rig, it will be one that I made to look exactly how I want it. Those handle holes are a strange design element to me.

I dig the look. If they sounded good, I'd spring for one.

IMO, it's an amp that would look decent in your living room but would look horrible after some road scrapes.
