Place the logo on the guitar. Apply more clear coats for protection
    The good thing with the laserjet decal paper is you don't need to do the sealing coat - but you certainly need to with the inkjet one!

    Good advice Chuck.

    On my latest Tele I cut the decal slightly bigger than the headstock and trimmed it back after drying so that is was covering the whole headstock face therefore edge line of the transfer was not visible, as is the case on the other 4 builds where I trimmed to the edge of the logo.
