    Sorry guys I realise now I should've put more info into my post. Muzza my psd file is on my work computer (so can't access it till Monday) but the way you lay up your artwork is fairly straight forward. Whatever you want printed as gold you put on the Layer that says gold only ( I used a yellow for the layer of gold) black is black, white is white. As long as you don't change the names of each layer and you put the artwork that you want on the corresponding layer it'll all print out the right way. I hope this makes sense. I must admit I really felt like I was flying blind when I laid up my artwork but if you put each colour you want on the right layer the print comes back as expected. I believe the psd should have CMYK values for each layer.

    Geez, when I clicked the black and gold option, the price shot up to b@ggery...

    $64 for an A4 sheet. I can't tell if they're American dollars or Aussie dollars. They're based in England by the looks of it.

    Yeah mate I did the same thing and then opted for just doing two 3x3cm decals for my two builds. It's very pricey. But like many of the steps during both my builds I end up opening my wallet more than I expected!

    Hoo boy! Ain't that the truth. The kit and parts have been the cheap bit. It's the tools and nice to haves that have made the biggest dent for me.

    I've had to move forward and glue the neck because I have to move out of our house in a week due to the fact that I'm tearing down the back wall, dropping the ceiling and a whole host of other unsightly Reno business! Anywho the neck glueing went well. I love this stage when the build all of a sudden feels like a guitar! Can't wait for hardware and finishing.. Not long now!Click image for larger version.

    Now, that's a great shot showing the finish you've achieved! Funny how the preview image is upside down! But that's a gorgeous result!
