    "Yep, it's a shovel" ... no shit?

    I'll give A him for resourcefulness and execution ... but its just unfortunate that it kinda reminds me of that Djent Stick abomination


    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)

    HAHA!! I was thinking that same thing Scott! Deff gets an "A" for the effort and it seems to have worked out great but yeah..it's a Djent Shovel Stick.
