ok so i bought this beast brand new about 3 weeks ago and just finished it up last night,,theres no decals on this,,its all paint.
the colors are gloss black and metallic black cherry.
i added the teac cd drive mod for 7 bux,didnt see the need for dvd. and it works perfect.
also has the exm128
changed all leds to red except for the blue play and tap tempo.
painted side panels,front panel,hand rest and cleared the casing.
still needs to be polished,so thats why it looks a little scuffed.

currently looking into changing the screen to red but having trouble finding a red screen so i might have to go the led route but we'll see.

let me know what you think.

brand new out the box..

nice, I think though that changing the frame of the screen to the same red as the sides would look nice... also would give if some balance.

dope as usual man.
