Big Malky Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Does anyone know a good dealer or separate company who make custom guitar decals (stickers) if you send them details? Always wondered this... Cheers, Malky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadLife Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 You should probably ask this here http://www.reranch.com/reranch/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=f1299641191af863e200f01971a3e0ec They can probably point you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarzan Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 i know a way to make your own decals. i seen this in an older hot rod mag. find a very glossy pic from a magazine or poster. it has to be glossy. spray the front of the pic with acrylic clear coat several times in alternating patterns each time, allowing each coat to dry. after it is totally dry, put it in water and rub the paper off the back carefully with your hand. what will be left is the picture on the acrylic, with a slightly transparent look. now spray the back with white paint to restore the solid look of the pic. find a car or guitar to apply it to. spray the surface with a clear coat, stick the decal on and then cover the whole deal with more clear coat. works great but But, it will fade if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. i have done it, and it works. or find an auto/sign decal trim maker like the local auto dealers use to dress up cars with graphics. take them a pic and have them make a vinyl sticker. i am toying with having our local trimline design do a Peace sells who's buying album art for the top of my Kramer. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geoff Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think there's a guy on eBay UK who does this, Malky. Go into Ebay.co.uk & search in the guitars section for decals and he might turn up if he's still trading. McG.

Big Malky Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Wow, great answers from all. I've got a guy in the uk says he can make an acrylic vinyl for £40 more or less, but I will be tryin' that neat trick Zan. Go for it with the album art, pretty cool choice. Now... I Wonder where I can get a Jolly Roger pic in a magazine (See Avatar) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappy P Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I've heard that it ruins you finish. I guess that doesn't matter if you don't plan to remove the sticker. I'm a purist though. I think guitars are beautiful just the way they are. Although, I have heard that a heavy finish can effect the tone of a guitar, I'm thinking may a sticker can effect the tone as well. In either case, I just hate seeing stickers and decals on one of God's most perfect creations. www.birdblues.com My Stuff On Sound Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
