Wooden end cheeks MPC 2500

Hi fellow MPC nuts. Just spent a few weeks designing some wooden end cheeks for my 2.5k.
Let me know what you think....

Those actually look really nice.

Im not a big fan of the wood look on the 2500. But I really like how the panel covers the entire side.

I might maybe wanna do some of those and paint them actually.

very nice work though!



p.s. on the site, which pictures emphasize the difference between standard and exotic, if any?

and I noticed there was a direct picture of the entire rear.. do you have one of the entire front from straight ahead?
so that both sides and the front are visible straight away?

also US pricing would be nice so your US customers dont have to find a currency converter.

next comes the onslaught of users requesting side panels for 5000's, 1000's and more!

Hi Triple-X, thanks for your pos comments.
I do have a whole bunch of photos yet to be uploaded, good point about the front photos, and I am going to scan an exotic finish to put up aswell. Basically it's a very nice looking 'birds eye' finish of the same colour wood on the flat surface.
I can PM you some more pics if you wish when they are done.
I also considered softwood for painting, but I don't think it would be robust enough.
Can do un-oiled hardwood though.
Will look into the USD option as well

Yes, that looks very good...at least the dark wood.

Very clean man. The dark ones look very dope.

Those are dope. If I ever decide to customize my MPC, I think it'd look dope to have it designed to match my microKORG. The mahogany panels would do that perfectly.

Looks dope! Really feelin' the mahagony panels!

It's about time someone made these! I was looking at making some myself but it was going to cost £70 just for the wood I wanted (black walnut), so I gave up on the idea.

Anyway, if you could PM me some more pics that would be cool. I would also like to see the difference between the exotic and standard mahogony. Cheers...

I've had someone ask about the same for the MPC1k, if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll work on it.
I agree about the dark wood, much better colour than the ash. Will be posting the 'exotic' finish shortly. Basically, it will be something like a birds eye veneer of quality hardwood on the flat face.
Thanks for all the positive comments

Let me get a front/back (table top) view, so I can see both sides. I also need to see a Top View.

Will get some more pics up soon, probably next week now, including the veneered version.

Good work.

Im not a fan of wooden sides on the MPC though.

You did do a great job on them though. They looks smooth...

You might want to add pictures of your MPC here aswell.

We got alot of custom 2500's in there.

Anything is an improvement over the crappy plastic sides the 2500 comes with!

Yeah man looks fresh, can you post up some higher rez pictures or PM me some?
Hey also could you do some in black stain instead of clear?
