I was looking for info about the Roland JD-800 and the JD-990, since I'm about to buy a JD-990. And then I found one of the coolest modded synths I've ever seen. No new functions or knobs, just a new paint job. But sometimes thats all it takes.

It is the artist David C. Lovelace who had his JD-800 modded by customsynths.co.uk, with a cool new white paintjob and an altered logo to fit the new design. He also had some text changes, like renaming the power switch to "Destroy" and Volume to "Anger". And best of all - he renamed the synth "Gandalf the White", because it was grey, and now....it's white. Nerdy cool!

Check out more of Davids studio here. He's got a modded JX-3P as well, with a built-in PG-200 programmer (drool). Pure jealousy!
