Here it is (550Kb)

The gold rim of the Fender logo is very grainy... maybe because of the reflection of the metallic material. But I think it will be ok if it's printed out.

I know we've been through this before, but what's the best way you've found for printing and then applyinh to a headstock?

Print them onto decal paper with a laser printer, apply the decal, and then clear laquer over the top.

I have a local printing shop that makes all sorts of decals.....you know the ones who can put a picture of your dog onto a coffee cup, or your mother in law onto a plate. Im sure you get the idea :D I just give them a disk with the files on and they print them for me.

Do they crack the plate for you, or do you get to do that yourself?

:D

Thanks Alex , thats a nice looking decal.

Does anyone know if the squier fat strat headstock is the same as the CBS fender headstock, or is the squier one a little rounder towards the end?

I thought you had to use an inkjet because the laser would melt the decal paper. Has anyone actually used a laser printer to do it? I just bought a laser printer, but if I'm risking the chance of getting melted film all over the insides, I'm not doin' it.

Let me know. I have a 70's strat copy and it's lacking a decent decal (got jagermeister stickers on it now). Can you buy the decal paper at like Office Depot or Best Buy or something?

And thanks for the image.
