Always loved that look. Kind of hard to maintain without it looking beat to death after years of gigging. But gorgeous none the less. I've built some cabs out of cherry and other hardwoods. Didn't think they sounded as good as my humble pine cabs unfortunately.

I'm going to count Portaflexes as combos here, and nominate the Ampeg B12XT:
I'm also really keen on my own newest amp, a custom-ordered Mesa Express Plus 5:25:
I also have a '68 Princeton Reverb that I think looks awesome:
I think that was the only year they used the metal piping around the grille. It looks nice.

One thing I've always liked about wood is that it still looks good with some scaring and the buildup of residue/staining just seems to add character... Something that can't always be said about tolex. Yeah, a beat up tweed has a certain somethin' somethin' about it, but it makes a totally different statement than a 40 year old Mark I.
The beauty of pine is that it takes stain really well.
