So, it took me a day to get myself sorted out, mostly because my camera gear was still in the boot(trunk) of my car from a previous job - and I had to find a polishing cloth - but here are a few pics of my Guardian. It feels a little large - maybe long in the blade - when I swing it around (of course that could be my major lack of skill and poor coronation) but I totally love it. It pulses VA/DVA at the moment, still planning to tweak the timing. No FoC for now. Haven't changed the sound font yet either, but we know I will.    |

Nice and congrats on the pick up! The jealousy is swelling, but my Guardian will be purchased when the timing is right and not a moment sooner.

Good choice on the Guardian. Which blade did you order with it?

Congrats, scraver! It looks beautiful - can't wait to get mine, hopefully some time next week.

Gorgeous lightsaber! VA/DVA looks perfect on the Guardian. As I've heard from others, once you spend some more quality time with it, it shall feel like an extension of your arm  and the cumbersome feeling will fade. |

I find the Guardian pommel gives an interesting resonance to the idle hum. Congrats, scraver! It looks beautiful - can't wait to get mine, hopefully some time next week.
Did you order yours with nickel plate or without? |

Yeah that's nickel, if you look closely at the polished back groove pattern you can see a slight difference in reflection however it does not show up so much to the naked eye...the overlord is very similar in that aspect.

I find myself pondering a Yari, a coupler and a shorter blade... just to try for lolz.

A slightly more closeup shot on the hilt. People will have to excuse me getting creative with some of my pics (when I post them). The look of this is quite intentional.  |
