Mock-up drawing of custom job.

It wasn't me!

That sounds damn classy. Someone might unscrew it and steal it for the silver though.

Sterling Silver. Worth about €5

Get an engraved truss rod cover. Make it from sterling silver and get it engraved in a jewellers. Fill the ingraving with epoxy and ebony saw dust then sand back and polish so there's no epoxy leakage...

Yeah, definetly a nice idea. I'll put it on the list.

Um, could you be any more specific... and more coherent perhaps?

Yeah, I'm really sold on the Yojimbo design tbh. Must work some more Kanji in there. Kirk Hammett and his Mummy guitar will have nothing on me, I tells ya!!!

I tried a mockup of the 'Samurai' kanji on the 12th fret, and it just looked like poo. Definetly NO inlays!

I don't see you with any record deals, so stick a turnip in it.

Snap out of it pal, come back to the real world. Only Master Po can stand shoulder to shoulder with Caine... and maybe Master Khan too

o Master Po: "do you hear the grasshopper at your feet?"
o Young Caine: "old man, how is it that you hear these things?"
o Master Po: "young man, how is it that you do not?"

Tbh, the designs with a character look a bit gaudy and naff.
The Zatouchi design is the most tastful and striking.

Naw...

The scene in Yojimbo where the gang members are bragging to our nameless hero and one of them has the cheek to say "Kill me if you can", to which the hero responds "It'll hurt"

Then in a quick flash that leaves 2 men dead, and onewithout an arm, screaming on the floor, (And this was shot before speed-up camera effects took off, so when we see this, we KNOW Toshiro Mifune was actually that fast. Legend.) he says to the coffin-maker; "Two coffins." he looks down at the guy without an arm "No, better make that three..."

Doctor J

Po: A single blow to the base of the neck, can be a fatal stroke.
Young Caine: Master, these things which we are taught. I cannot do them.
Po: You find the exercises too difficult?
Young Caine: No master. Too cruel.
Po: And to be killed. What is that?
Young Caine: I must learn these exercises, to defend myself.
Po: Learn first how to live. Learn second, how not to kill. Learn third, how to live with death. Learn forth, how to die.

Not really. Finish is taking ages to sand off, I've got some of it done, but I need to go outside to do it, so it's not too often I go out to do it because the sun burns us it does. :eek:

feylya

Why don't you just paint over the finish? It's been over a year and a half :eek:

Because half the finish was cracked and peeling, it needed to be removed.

I know it's been a while, but honestly I've really half forgotten about it tbh. I mean, when I saw this thread I thought to myself oh yeah, I haven't done anything with that since the summer...

You know, I really like the samurai.. Reminds me of a film I saw.. can't remember the name of it for the life of me. It was remade as 'A Fistful of Dollars'..
