Headstock Decals

[AndyTravis]

Having a chat with a fellow BC'er about Headstock Decals...

It's a bit of a sore subject as *ENDER are generally pissed off with repro's of their gear...

either which way, i've found...(WEBSITE ASKS TOO KEEP OFF FORUMS, JUST SPOTTED)
And it seems like a good deal.

Anybody else had a Nash/Bravewood needing a decal?

We were mainly discussing early 70's precision bass decals.

Any ideas? Places you've used?

Edit - Suppose PM is best rather than posting? I Know *ENDER are getting really heavy with this stuff.

Thanks

Trav

FWIW, I inkjet logos onto Letraset Safmat. Peel off, stick on. Peel off if you fancy a change. Not [i]quite[/i] as 'invisible' as a decal, but fine from about 2 feet away.

It's really easy to make your own, buy a sheet of transparent waterslide paper off eBay, get the decals off the net and knock up a sheet in Publisher.
They work with any inkjet printer, i did some a while ago

Like this one:

The one's from the seller mentioned above (i assume it's the same guy i used) are great, but really this is all he's doing. All it costs is paper, ink and a coat or two of lacquer

Just got some for my fretless P project from Simon at www.decartdecals.com.

I did the artwork myself, but he will do that if you need. Had two come through (water slide type) and it looks the biz.

Just PM'ed you with a Swedish website which does the whole range of F*nder waterslide decals. Cheap and easy to use

really guys, thank you very very much!
This makes the project more viable!

I quite like the idea of doing one that superficially looks like 'ender: 'Pecker' or similar. If I want a guitar with Fender on the headstock I'd prefer to buy one they made.
