New Colour and Letterings for the Electro 3
Hello Everybody !
In the next days I'll be a proud owner of an Electro 3.
Is there anybody out there who can tell me, how I can put on the white writings and descriptions back after repainting the nasty red colour with black ?
Great Thanks

Re: New Colour and Letterings for the Electro 3
Let me start by saying that I love the red color, and usually have so many colored lights going on stage that nobody really knows, or cares what color my keyboards are... but I digress.megavoice wrote:...how I can put on the white writings and descriptions back after repainting the nasty red colour with black ?
There are silkscreen "screen printing" materials that allow for a hi res photo of the writing to be easily and rapidly turned into a silkscreen resist "template". Most sign making businesses have this equipment, material, and expertise, and would make it available to you for a small fee.
It might be cost prohibitive to purchase everything yourself, for one time use.
I hope this helps.

Great Thanks, Hannon CIS
As you see above, tastes are sometimes very different.
Sorry, but when on stage everything is black it's NO GO ! to have a shiny red thing up there. It's not acceptable for NORD not having offered alternatives !!!

Everyone's entitled to want what they want.
There's no denying that they look great in black.

Like the Rolling stones' song says "I see a red Nord and I want it painted black" ;)

That black NE2 does look pretty sexy actually. ;)
A matte white would also look gorgeous, although I imagine it would be difficult to keep clean.
To be honest, the Nord boards are so beautifully designed, they'd still look awesome in brown or green...
Cheers,
James

My mind says Kawai, but my heart says Nord.
