That ends up looking pretty nice. I appreciate the detailed, multi-step process, but have you tried water transfer decal laser paper? Like this: <a href="http://www.decalpaper.com/category-s/3.htm" target="_blank">http://www.decalpaper.com/category-s/3.htm</a><br />

It seems like it might save a couple of steps. I just got some, but haven't tried it yet. I'm planning on basic black line art design that I'll apply after a couple coats of tung oil, followed by a few more coats of tung oil--for the head stock. For paper covered boxes, I was thinking of adding a curved register mark for tone and volume knobs. Then I'd spray with a couple coats of matte lacquer, to protect the decal and the paper covering the box. Thanks for the great Idea.

<p>Thanks for the great Idea. I've been printing labels (Cigar Bands) and lacquering over them. This would be a lot cleaner.<a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/305755818?profile=original"><img class="align-full" width="721" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/305755818?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024"></a></p>

Question: if the laser printer is color, couldn't one simply print a reversed image in color and do away with the paint pens?

I have been looking for a way to label my guitar heads for so long. I considered a branding iron, but refused to pay the high cost. This solution is great, Bill. Now I can give my heads the finished, professional look I've wanted. Thank you much for posting it!

It stays. You coat right over it. It is actually the base material of the decal. You cant see it, and although it is kind of thick, about the thickness of a sheet of paper, and a few heavy coats of laquer hides it completely. I wish I could find thinner transparency material. I wouldn't need alot of laquer, but I usually put 10 to 15 coats on my headstock and neck so it doesn't matter. I use Minwax spray laquer from Home Depot. Nice shine, dries very fast and mistake proof... You can see one of…
