I saw a pic of a 2500 with black pads. Doesn't anyone know where you get them and how to install? Or can you buy a 2500 with them?

why are the black pads so cheap?

Do they not last, or work properly?

p.s. my 2500 will be here on monday the 5th! I am so excited! :lol:

American Musical has them in stock right now. I've had them on back order for the last month.

I paid the full $1995.00(no shipping cost).

But they have a 'Flex Pay' option where I can pay for it in 5 payments of $399.00, so thats what I did.

its probably cheaper for what ever company to make pads in black

either that or many people bought them so it drove the price down

The dye used in the red comes from an old african mining tribe called the Krat'es Diggerz. They use to rub they dye on thier fingers before they went digging in the mines.
