Synthwood did the wood end cheeks for my Yamaha CS-15. They do nice stuff. They were smart enough to realize that the thicker wood panels would require longer screws and bolts than the stock ones, and included them as part of the shipping package.

i want to put wood sides on my LP SE II.

has anyone upgraded their LP SE II with wood sides yet? i am curious how to accommodate for the I/O area of the panel. it appears that the rubber side is one piece that supports all of the I/O jacks and connectors.

Yeah but the tribute wood can't handle the MIDI additions.

Nice. Aesthetically speaking, I think the wood looks better with the red/orange lights of the Stage.

I'll be making my own though. :o

This is a good point. One would have to use the sheet metal that is on the inside of the rubber panel. Or, make their own. :wink:

I actually prefer the grey rubber panels, ultra-monochrome. However, if you want wood it's cool that there are options and you could get any type of wood and stain. A LPII w/black or very dark stained wood would look nice I'm sure.

You can see a photo of the I/O panel with the wood installed here:

The metal panel looks pretty good under the wood cutout, and everything is solid. I used my P-Touch with clear tape to make labels for the connectors.

yep. i've seen this gorgeous piece of technology before. :)

thanks to you and Voltor - i haven't popped the sides off yet to reveal the metal panel beneath. the control cavity will need to be cut to accommodate the stacked MIDI/USB jacks but otherwise looks to be doable. now i just need to decide if i want figured maple or cherry or walnut or ... maybe i should order a few pair to suit my daily mood. :)
