  • zen ii

    As promised, here's the zen Charvel redo. I stripped the first graphic and repainted everything. I think the enso came out a whole lot better. It's just one stroke, which is how an enso should be. And even though I'm no expert calligrapher (sp?), I think the kanji looks pretty good. Opinions?

    I like it, I really do. What was the previous graphic?

    Great job.

            Cooler. Looks good except for around the toggle switch.

                Does all of that writing say the same thing as the Warren Demartini "Frenchy" just in a different language??

                Seriously, that looks awesome!!! You might want to trademark it.

                      Thanks for the comments.

                      Yeah, I flubbed around the toggle switch because I put the guitar back together before the paint fully dried, and then I needed to move the toggle switch, which cracked some of the paint off. But to be honest, it adds a little character, so I'll just leave it the way it is.

                      That "stupid thing" on the headstock is a dragon pendant, which I like, so I'll keep it.

                      The writing comes from various martial arts I've trained in ... zen, chi (energy), nin (persaverance), t'ai chi, etc. A Japanese or Chinese person would probably find the writing laughable, but it looks good to me.

                              You know, I really like it, too. What's cool with the red on the top is how you work it in between the two pickups. Sometimes, graphics are a little harder to do on a 2-H guitar but your design works quite well with the pickup layout.

                              Well done!
