Sick build, I like the mismatched sets.

Is this the beige colour? Or the cool grey?

This thing sounds awesome with lubed Panda X's and the high profile MT3's. This was originally my first ever post on Reddit - back in April - but it would seem that bots don't like people new to Reddit and it was removed as "suspected spam" (go figure).

Anyway I'm really happy with how the resulting look. I wasn't certain the orange from the legends would match up with the tangerine accents but at the end of the day I believe it worked out. With regards to sound, I really like how it came out. This version has the hotswap sockets and carbon (fibreglass) plate, and to tweak the sound a little I filled the base with a weird silicon/sand mix (you're probably saying "what was he thinking?"). It was meant to be just an experiment but I really love what it did to both the weight and sound signature (thocky without the hollowness) of the NCR80.

What do you guys think?
