Subject:Painted XK2 - WHY? ? ?

Has anyone else seen this awful-looking thing and felt sick to their
stomach?

This is absolutely ridiculous. The person apparently took a
paintbrush and roller to their XK2 and had a night on the town
ruining it. The horror. I can't take it! I just recently sold my
XK2 to upgrade to a CX3 and there are still a lot of things I miss
about the good ol' XK2. Seeing this amateur travesty is just the
worst. WHY would anyone in their right mind want to paint a nice
woodgrain organ black? I have seen some pro B3s and Leslies with a
piano-grade black finish, but this specimen is just unbearable.

Apologies if any CW folks own this organ or know the responsible
party. I just could not bear to look at it.

Stepping down from the soapbox now.

Cheers,
Eric
