I assume some folks have chipped or scratched ones
Sequential sell replacements for this purpose...
[...] or just want to differentiate theirs or have a stain color preference. Some folks have not been happy with the appearance of their stock ends. I don't have two of the same type of synth, but if I did it might be nice to have a visual differentiator between the two so I didn't have to look at the serial num.
I can think of any number of potential differentiators between synths that come without the ecological and environment costs. I'm all for quality woodworking (and wood on synths!) but replacing perfectly good walnut (of all woods, walnut! A slow-growing and important crop-tree whose wood and fruit are both very valuable) strikes me as luxury for the sake of vanity. I hope there's a greater reason here than that that I'm just missing!
I don't know man, I'm not overthinking it personally. Every time I buy a new vehicle I visit the enthusiast forums just to learn some of the ins and outs. And without fail there are dozens of guys who run out and buy every aftermarket customization available and stick on an expensive German vehicle just for a feeling of being different from everyone else, some folks are into customization. Who knows what makes others happy?
