Totally random, but IMHO, Mike Rutherford is a master of driving and serving a song with a bass in hand...

Branding iron?
You must have a funny-looking Precision...
Love Sarah!!! Been into her way back when she first came on the scene.
I see that she mounts her Shubb capo upside down. They can fall to the ground easily if the lever is accidentally flipped.
Carved into the piece by hand with chisels and other implements of destruction. Or, stamped, if in metalwork. Sometimes, the complete name is carved into the furniture.

It wasn’t unusual for a kid to carve their initials with a pocket knife in their old wooden desktop at school. Just try to do that today.

I think that it is one of the better acoustic versions. The guitar harmonics at the beginning are cool.
I always use mine open at the top. The mechanism doesn’t get in the way of my thumb that way. Same with Kyser.

When I look at the Roycroft wiki and read about Sumgai* who makes his own paper and creates handmade type, there's a part of me who wonders if he is getting enough sex 
* Everyone knows Sumgai. When you walk into a shop to buy that thing you saw yesterday but didn't have the coin at ready, the shopkeeper says Sumgai came in right after you and bought it....

Сумгай (sumgay) 
looks so Evenki to me, but I understand it's closer to Indonesian (sungai) and denotes бира (bira "river") in Evenki. Maybe I've been reading too much about reindeer boots lately (reinder = оро oro in Evenki).
Decades ago I watched some TV feature in which Evenki youth were claiming they could speak their language, but then only quoted a few words like those mentioned above. It was pretty saddening
As a kid I did have some fur boots, but only the more I thought it was yucky having to walk through slush Later on I had the idea I might like Moon Boots, but somehow never got round buying some.
Guess I'm glad I can limit myself to sandals since I moved back here

The natives where a family member lived didn’t speak their traditional language for the most part. Some of the elders could a bit. They have a push to teach the language to kids in school. For the most part the language is being created. It is hard enough to keep kids in school. Most don’t finish high school. Why bother, when they leave school they go on welfare and are given a house. There isn’t much motivation to work towards a goal. Getting pregnant is a good way to leave school and get into the system, they do that at a young age.

It may not make it past the metal detector at the doorway.
Yes, I know that this is what the situation is like for many indigenous communities (on both sides of the Bering Strait). Some do better, some do worse. Rarely one meets elders (in the Far North) who are clearly more proficient in their own language than in English.
As already said, it is saddening
Ah. Pardon my ignorance.
They might use laser engraving today.
Or 'stickers'.
