me neither, never thought about it. my first piece was a DX21 though, and half of gear was used pawn shop stuff for a long time, whatever I could get my hands on…so it was sort of all uphill from there. there was always spraypaint/markers. they were, and still are more tools to be used, like an old powersaw or worn guitar. i like a little of that punk rock aesthetic.
but i can understand the reason for eccentric design- market recognizability.
