I want to create my own logo for the headstock of each guitar I build. Has anyone had success with those printable water slide decals? Any other ideas to put your logo on the headstock?
Tags:
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.
I 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.
