The Gypsy Maiden hand wounds would probably still be less expensive than a standard set of SD high outputs.Originally Posted by Dedman
Back on topic, are you going to cut your own bone nut H or have a DB special done up?

Love it.
I reckon I'll have a go at cutting a bone nut. I've ordered a couple of cheapy blanks on ebay and I'll see how it goes. Can always get one made up if it turns out I can't do it.
Yeah, its one of the things that i've been meaning to attempt, but i have to get a satisfactory finish result before i get down to nitty gritty details. I have all the gear I just haven't got to it, yet.

Haha, checked my email and apparently I've ordered a couple of pre-shaped nuts from China for about $6 each. Could have sworn I bought blanks. Supposedly they're bone, and I hope they're not terrible. Thankfully I'm only out 12 bucks if I end up with the wrong thing. Don't drink and ebay.
In better news, last night I got my horrible printer working long enough to pop out a page of decals to test with, and tested a couple out on some scrap.

LOVE IT! You could get your inlay on and do some crossed axes or Norse Runes as fret markers

After I made the logo (after I remembered how to do vector graphics) I estimated the size I'd need and printed it out on paper in 5% size increments (so, 100%, 95%, 90%, etc) down to 70%, cut those out, and held them up to the template I used to cut out the headstock (made 3 of those in case I tore or lost them).
This is what I'll use - 80% of the size I estimated. It'll sit a little lower and to the left on the real thing, but it fits!
nice one H, I was worried your test logo looked too big but you have resized to fit, well done

It's the right size decal, I've just inadvertantly created a forced-perspective photo. The test piece is only about an inch across where the decal is, and is probably 8-10 inches closer to the lens than the neckl in the background (looks like it's leaning on the amp, but it's held in my hand).
