crafty Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Do not--I repeat--DO NOT ask Perry (rhoads56) for a reproduction decal of any manufacturer's decal, like Fender, Gibson, ESP, etc. He'll bite your head clean off, Ozzy-style. Or would that be Aussie-style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deja Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Ive Managed to make a custom decal at local printers and fitted that on. So i just get the humbucking ring and try to get it exactly fitted. Thx for the welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
