Marko Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hello! I'm new here and I'm really sorry if this topic has already been covered, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Actually, I need some help with finishing headstock on my first homebuilt guitar. It's a Les Paul. I would like to create a headstock logo that would be similar to the factory one on a les paul standard. I know that some custom logos can be made using some transparent mylar, and then print an outlined text on it and then paint the letters, but how can I apply it to the headstock, and does the mylar line really dissapear under few coats of lacquer? I would like my logo to be silver. I've read those articles about headstock finishing, but it 's still a bit strange to me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croaticum Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 I have done that and results were awsome!!! Allso i have Gibson logo in vectors so i can send it to ur mail. Just figur out the size, aply it on your mylar, just outlines, print it on mylar, fill the logo with silver and aply it. Best program for doing that is corel draw. You have full tutorial in tutorial section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
