xilddx Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) I need to get a headstock decal, Fender type logo with custom wording, I've seen chaps on here with them, so where can I order one from? Thank you! Nx Edited September 25, 2013 by xilddx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowender Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) There is this amazing thing called the internet. You can do what is called a "search" and it helps find what you;re looking for. I'm pretty computer savvy and have already figured out how to do it, so here you go -- just this once though. : ) (link removed) Edited September 26, 2013 by Lowender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) That's grand... but he did say he wanted custom wording... Edited September 26, 2013 by EBS_freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Or if you want 'Fender like' as opposed to 'Fake Fender' you could try [url="http://shop.rothkoandfrost.co.uk/custom-headstock-waterslide-decal-p/sf118.htm"]here[/url].

kevin_lindsay Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 When applying the decal, be careful as the Rothko ones are very thin, so they can tear easily. When theyre on the headstock, they may look a bit wrinkly, but thst disappears as the water evaporates. To seal the decal in place, apply very light mist coats over it once its dried out. If you apply too much lacquer / finish, the decal will wrinkle up again. be careful, and take your time, and you'll end up with a fantastic lookjng headstock mate.

gary mac Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Rothko are great to deal with and decals are of excellent quality Nige. Good advice from Kev, they are thin, which is one of the reasons they look so convincing when the job is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
