Happy Birthday, i like the dramatic woodgrain. Does it have a pet name?

Yes - I just struck lucky with this Zebrawood as I have seen others that have either been too dark or too light or not even enough to my eye.  In truth, it was the only one there - in the Bass Centre Snow Hill Birmingham (you will remember that Jazzy). £1000 new in year 2000 (made 1999).  I added the LEDs with Sims. Never named it - even when it 'came of age' at 21 last year!

If I may hijack briefly - DaveD, do you post elsewhere with a different screenname, but the same avatar?

And to get back on track, Happy Birthday!

I remember trying a SC deluxe there about that time (1999???) and it was quilted maple probably 5A - wonder if the same?
