Custom Nord Electro 5d

Post by BravoJr »

Here's another Nord Electro I've had the pleasure of working on. This was build for my friend Peter of the band July Talk. He wanted it to look more like a Rhodes, but I think it turned out a bit closer to some kind of early 80s Soviet synth. I had a custom designed brushed aluminium face plate decal made. It has a little less of the superfluous information on it. I also added some "vintage" knobs.
Still not fully set up to take on too many of these, but that is the eventual plan. If you're interested, please let me know.

Really not sure why these images are upside down. I even rotated them in photoshop, but they still show up in this post upside down. Any tips?

Beautiful job! Lots of room left on that panel for more knobs, switches and jacks, too. Tempting.
