No stock case will fit this monster, Upper horns come out on angles. I am thinking no case EVER! or make one.

I thought maybe a soft acoustic gig bag.

I find #3 the most legible

I like #1
but 1 & 2 are had to read for me

so three

Re: headstock font! help me decide.

Thoughts? I have settled on both the kanji script and english. Its jsut the font i need to work out.

1 Shanghai font.


2 Chinese takeaway font


3 naruto style font


This is the guitar build for those who dont know.

My personal preference would be Choice 2...but definitely not #3

Re: headstock font! help me decide.

I definitely agree that #1 is by far the best one. Good choice, there.

Re: headstock font! help me decide.

The first one is most legible.

Not number three . . . Why Is the kanji upside down for that one?

+1 on both counts, I was actually surprised no-one had caught this earlier...

Faux chinese sans. Isnt as readable but much cooler and doesnt look as corny as the chopstick lettering in your examples.

Side note... If you literally translate those characters they mean "one who is patient" The first character is patience and the other is used after an adjective to mean "one who is"

Well anyone who'd deliberate over the font to this extent certainly is patient!

Umm the characters on their already are real chinese/japanese characters.

It basically says Shinobi twice just once in english then again in han characters.
