Why are the letters upside down?

so he can read zen when he is playing it......

i always wanted to do a reverse redrum guitar, black with red, and that was the first thing i thought of when i saw this one...

Why are the letters upside down?

So he can read them in a mirror? They look backwards to me.

[Grandturk]

Well, as long as you like it.

I like it. Its nice to see personal touches being put on these production series guitars.

Tell us more.....what did you use & how did you do it?

thanks for the comments. Enso was done with a 2" paintbrush and red spraypaint. I then went back and touched it up with a detail brush ... adding drips and various lines for an artistic effect. The kanji "zen" was done with a detail brush.

I've since redone it with a brighter red enso and white kanji lettering all around the guitar. I'll get some pics up soon. I agree with the comments that the backwards zen didn't look too good. Now it's just the enso and kanji and some taoist and buddhist symbols which looks a whole lot better. I'm debating about getting it professionally done. I've got it the way I want it but it would be nice to have a high-gloss, nicely buffed version.

Nice job. Nice to see a graphic without skulls!!!

or a dragon that looks like a c*%$, or a japanese sea monster rape scene. Seriously, I like it. Shoot us some updated photos when you have some time. Was some sanding done to the headstock?
