Jedi Hunter II, The Ryu

This saber is named for it's commissioner. He has been bugging me for a clawed saber for a very long time. He is just in love with my Gladius V2 (which is my first Jedi Hunter saber), but I am loathe to part with it for under $xxx so I finally acquiesced to building him one. I made sure to make some personalized adjustments for the Ryu, like the box and the OM pommel. I also went with the 4 claw configuration v. the 3 Claw on GVII. He also chose a red blade which more differentiates the two sabers since GVII has a TruPurple© blade. The Ryu also has the heart of a PC rather than an MR. He had a bit of a unique request on the box configuration. He wanted the port and AV switch there, but he also wanted an RB blinky. So, I had to figure out a place for the Aux. switch. I went ahead and tapped it in just behind the box inside one of the grooves in the ribbed grooved section. Not too much custom machining on this one other than the fully custom BH. It also has a nice 2W speaker in Reverse Sound © orientation. Make sure to watch the cool video...Thanks for looking.

Particulars:
PC 1.5 w/Darkiban font
P4 red
RB blinky
2w Megabass speaker for Reverse Sound ©

Thank you everyone for the kind words. @vlad- honestly, it sounds about the same as a Regal to me when used with PC's. the difference is really noticeable when used with a CF.
