@ king Casey i don't reply much these days unless I can help but this method work especially well on squire necks don't use enamel or Bunnings clear that's good on furniture but not on necks ill try to upload a couple of pics for you it also works well over water slide decals I'm probably done over 50 Strats and Tele necks the same way, I thought Phil would have posted something like that its way easier than using messy enamels which look like crap
