Decal help with partscaster with esp neck.

[ktwilli]

hi guys this is my first post! I have a fender stratocaster, with an ESP neck. you know the kind that looks like a strat neck with strat headstock but has esp stamped on the back. The headstock looks very naked. so just looking for some opinions. fender decal or ESP. or custom? what do you think? on this subject?

Custom....since the ESP neck is not licensed by Fender. Of course you can use the Fender script font to make your logo look similar but different.

A waterslide decal saying "Custom Partscaster" or some such would be appropriate, methinks.

Welcome to the forum!

ya seems that a custom decal would work great!

Cool looking guitar!

Here's a video tutorial on how to make / apply the decal. I don't know how good it is, as I haven't tried it.

I used that decal base stuff they sell in A4 size - just print the picture on it with a color printer and use as decal. Can be sprayed over and looks very very professional. Mine says 'D-A Stratoblaster by Jokinen' in BIG black and blue text and the last, maker name in smaller and in handwriting.

On my other guitars, I used a Dremel drill to carve 'D-A' onto the headstock or the truss rod cover, or put nothing there. If there is a logo you don't like, a piece of duct tape covers well :-)

A-4 size? is like some kind of decal paper?
