Title: What Would Look Good On A Headstock?
Post by: willo on November 03, 2005, 02:29:20 PM: As you may know, I'm getting a guitar knocked up at the moment, however I am able to put something on the headstock (reverse strat style). I dont want to leave it blank, but I don't really fancy the company logo either...any ideas as to what, be it a word, a logo, an image or suchlike, would look good on it?

flash or not flash, im just after suggestions! :)

You can awlays put your initials on the headstock.

As for the initials, i dunno, IDW is not so interesting, plus i think I'd get tired of people making jokes about SRV...

Post by: willo on November 04, 2005, 08:12:30 PM: i know guys, thats why i put the ' :lol: ' after it...

What Im trying to get across, is that its hard to find something not tacky, not cliched yet not pretentious to stick on the headstock...I dont want a Fender decal!

Post by: rooky on November 04, 2005, 08:25:26 PM: If you're proud of the fact that you've bought a custom axe, what's wrong with having the logo of the guy who built it? Or did you really want a Fender?

Post by: willo on November 04, 2005, 08:29:48 PM: I know what you mean; provisionally I'm having the guy's logo put on it, I'm just thinking if there is anything more imaginitive or personal that could go on instead.
