Oh man, I didn't see this til now! Watching this video I was almost cringing waiting for you to reveal what Ultrasabers turned out for you. The look on your face says it all.
This makes me so happy, dude! So STOKED to hear you get in on that flash sale on a Guardian!! Such a rare deal that is, and it IS beautiful. And me? Teasing?? Naaaah...
This "teasing" you speak of, though... it could've been part of an evil genius plan... perfectly synced with a flash sale... no, I'm not an undercover agent for Ultrasabers (though how cool would that be!?) seriously... I think they did right by you this time. I, too, am a little puzzled why the RP isn't as recessed on yours as it is on mine, but it looks pretty discrete. I really like the black AV switch and is that nickel plated? I couldn't quite tell, but I think you like the polished aluminum better, right? You've done well, my Guardian apprentice
really, nice score, man.
WHEN you move to the US, Texas that is, you should live in San Antonio. Awesome town. Awesome food. Awesome proximity to Ultrasabers
I look forward to your video reviews. Here's a point til then. Peace... Out.
Yeah I'm not sure what's up with the RP either, because I said "please mount the port under the shroud and make it as streamlined as possible" thinking that it was going to wind up looking like yours... and this is what I got
So your guess is as good as mine. Glad it's not for an "every day" saber and now I know it is
most definitely hit or miss with those things and I certainly won't bother getting one on another saber unless US ever release an ANH Kenobi hilt to mount on the other end of the TV cabinet, because again, it will be mounted and I won't have to see it!
Or... unless they
finally work out a way to pommel mount the ports. Until then I don't think the money is equal to the quality of work and also, my hands work just fine, so I am able to remove and refit the batteries when I need to without crumbling into a sobbing mess.
You were being a c*** tease and you totally know you were
It IS nickle plated. I do like the nickle plating and had always intended to get it on the Guardian. There are some other sabers I'd like it on as well. The only reason I didn't get nickle on the Monarch was because I didn't have the option of a nickle Mantis pommel for my swap out. I think you may be thinking that because I had the Manticore CE on my least desirable list. That was on the list because I like the two color Manticore better, and think the single color looks boring. Also because I have no idea how I'd be able to seal the windows on a nickel Manticore emitter
The switch took me a long time to decide on. Eventually I opted for black av with black bezel to go for a "hidden" switch look.
I still think it will be Dallas though
Cheers brother! Appreciate the feedback, comments and point. One back at you again for that Guardian staff
