Decal for a Mighty Mite neck

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I put a Maple/Maple neck on my MIM jazz and I want to get a headstock decal for it, to look like the original MIM one if possible. Does anybody know where I can get one of these? I can only seem to find people who do the Vintage fender ones and not the boring old MIM ones.

Also, it's a stain finish neck, will I need to sand it down and respray it with Nitro after applying?
Cheers!

Hi,

Wizard guitars in Doncastor might be worth a look. I got the headstock decal for my P bass from there, although it is a 70's Fender type one. It was a waterslide decal, which I applied, then allowed a day to dry, then followed up with several light coats of Halfords aerosol clear lacquer. It looks ace, but doesn't stand up to very close inspection, as you can see the outline of the transfer. But only if you look very closely!

Hope this helps,
Rich :)

More lacquer, then a quick flat with P600 followed by a polish will soon sort that out..... :)
