I'm more interested in how it sounds. If it sounds good, I don't care how ugly it is. I don't think it looks as bad as others do.
That said: Wood side panels, metal fascias == good; tri-color scheme (wood, silver, black), black screws/bolts/retainer clips/whatevers in otherwise light front panel == not so good. I'm thinking if he had gone with a black front panel, or with silver screws and a silver top, either of those choices would have been better.
