Custom decal

Deijavoo

Does anyone know where I could make or order my own?

Putting together a bitsa Jazzmaster and don't really like blank headstocks but also don't really want to put a Fender type one on.

Cheers.

I think Rothko and Frost is the default forum choice. I print my own on my laser printer using waterslide paper.

I want one too , but the R&K site says you have to use their template , and for that you need to have ,

 and know how to use, photoshop.

Thanks Wez , but I should have been clearer , its artwork I need , as its something I designed , and not in any font.

I did order some waterslide paper today , so maybe I can do it myself  , have to be black though.

Is that because you only have a mono laser printer?

No ,its a decent Canon one , I just don`t know where to get gold from , or white come to think of it .

Black might do it though .

I've heard of people printing black outlines then filling in the empty spaces with gold pen on the rear of the decal. Worth a try?

That might be worth a go , cheers Stu.

Glen made my custom ones from the logo i use as my avatar here - he converted it into black and silver and sharpened it all up

if you are after real custom, he is the first person I would speak to, especially if you already have a design he can work from

you don't get sharp gold's and silvers from drawing on the back of a waterslide with a paint pen... I have tried

Thanks Wez , I`ll give him a try. >-

The gold pen or paint way still needs Photoshop or similar, it gives an antique sort of gold. Silver wasn't great for me, it showed through the black so I had R&K print them instead. Printers can get that bright shiney gold.
Reverse+paint pen, gold looks 'flat' but is actually metallic in reality.

@10thumbs & @Deijavoo if you still need them drop me a PM - we can use non-Photoshop artwork or even sketches no problem, it's just that only Photoshop templates can be ordered through the site.

Nice one. Thanks mate.
