New for Series 2.0
- For the first time, a full barebones kit will be provided (including PCB, plate, foam, etc.).
- Side accents are now removable! This allows you to customize your build even more by swapping out different accent styles and materials.
- An extra internal weight was added, giving the board more heft, and a more premium feel and sound. Internal weights are now attached with screws (vs. tape), allowing you to both install and remove them more easily. The weights also act as stabilizers for the wood case, similar to how wood table tops are secured with metal bars. A set of aluminum weights is included with all case purchases, with the option to upgrade to brass if desired.
- New premium finishes were added, for both the wood case and the metal side accents. For wood, you can now choose from Ink Black or Whitewash, and for the side accents, both brass and stainless steel materials are now available in a fluted option.
- The top edge profile for case customization has been standardized to a chamfered finish. This ensures future compatibility with accessory items (like a matching numpad), simplifies stock management, and strengthens the case’s design language, since the chamfer has consistently been both a customer favorite and a signature detail of our cases.

Finishes

- All metal accents and feet are solid (not plated or anodized), and left bare metal. Brass will slowly patina over time, creating a beautiful living finish. If this is not desired, the metal can be gently re-brushed using a maroon Scotch-Brite pad to restore its original bright appearance.
- All brass weights are coated with a layer of lacquer to protect against accidental electrical shorts.
- All brass switch plates are coated with a layer of lacquer to protect against tarnishing and fingerprints.
