I think you're on the right path. I wouldn't sweat it. I was all for any color BUT red for R and OD....
I think it looked fine minus the nice text job poke poke

I wouldn't hesitate to make em a different color..... again..... or the same color.... again, minus the text.
People should know what they do or they shouldn't use the machine! LOL

Ummmmm

Dude.... you get it done and put it on Ebay it'll be a wrap. Even if you have to list, re-list, re-list, someone is gonna love it and hopefully pay A LOT

Maybe FORAT will buy it Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I like what he's done with stuff..... especially the wood. He (Or whoever came up with it) inspired my chrome panel, wood sides and wrist for my 4K

It's just that I've seen a few of his mods in person and the paint doesn't hold up :(

Mainly the buttons, that's why I want to buy colored plastic, to avoid the paint wearing off, even if they're expensive and not my first color choice.

So to be fair, it's just the button paint that fails on his mods..... everything else was pretty much abusive production by the owners :)
Which is also a good thing :)

And again, to his credit, isn't it funny that 99.999% of people who mention him, or know of him,
know of him by his MODS, and not by their studio... That's a thinker. And big ticket clientel. big ups to him

I like the AKAI custom printed on the machine... looks slick.

not my favourite colour scheme, but definately burns most customs. It's nice to see you aren't half-assing it aswell.

thanks man,,
and yeah i agree total fail on the rod :lol:

i myself dig forats work also,,he's creative and one of the only people to do this for the "people"..what bugs me are his crazy prices,,i mean i know you should take pride, but what happens is,you can charge a famous person an arm and a leg,,but then you HAVE to turn around and sell it to us for the same price or you end up looking like a bad buisness man...
i guess my problem is,im not "stardom rich" and most people arent..so this is just my opinion,but i think if he stopped selling to the public he would be a better buisness man,because he expects us "regular joe's" to have oprah money..

nuff rantin...and the buttons will be changed soon.
wish they made them in different pigments also..but till they do,,i frigin hate that tan color
hey smc,,what would you put it on ebay for? money wise?
after its finished of course?
