    Another alternative is woodburning:

    Right near the beginning, around 0:14-0:18. Did that myself after the mods discussed in the vid. Pick also did a custom t-shirt iron on transfer logo on the body top and back for me.

    I have. You have to use a laser printer and be verrrry carefull. If you don't clearcoat it, it won't hold.

    306397021?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024I used individual letter ink stamps on the headstock of my Cohiba-Caster, and then clear-coated with some spray poly. Came out great. 

    Another option would be to order up a custom ink stamp from someplace like this (this isn't an endorsement, just an example)  http://www.simplystamps.com

      not a bad idea. lot of work tho to line up each letter , but it is neat... I see that you can order specialty stamps like a monogram which are self inking. that would be cool.. one could make up your own monogram or whatever and have them make it for you.. I believe places like Staples here in Canada do that as well.. the only thing I would think about is what kind of ink is in those things and is it compatible with lacquer, etc etc..

        I hit this with a light coat of spray poly.

        Same thing on my next built - the Strato-rez.

        If you go VEEEERY light with the first coat of poly, it sticks without running.

        I did an experiment and found that brushing the poly on was the same as rubbing it with thinner or something.

    As an alternative have you considered iron on?
    It may be easier to get locally. Plus you can use it to make matching t shirts.

      That's interesting. I've used iron-on to make custom tee shirts, but I never considered applying it to wood. Have you tried it? Doe you need to do it before the first finish is applied? Is a cover finish needed after application?

      Thanks for the idea.

        I have used it to put the name on my boat, which I did over white paint. I also did some testing on raw wood and it seemed to work well. The only problem I had was with fading. I think that was due to a combination of cheap inks, going in the water and being left in direct sunlight which should not be a problem for cbgs.

          For an even cheaper solution I have glued ordinary paper on. Inkjet ink runs with water based glue and the colour laser printer from work runs with superglue so pick one that works for you.
