I've done waterslides on previous builds, they work great. This time I want to do something a bit different - get the stained red wood as lines showing through black. Or else white lines on a plain black headstock. I don't think I can do either of those things with waterslides, or I'd be set already.

I guess if all else fails I'll reverse the original idea and go with black lines over the red, which I can definitely do with waterslides and my cruddy old laser printer. I'll just need to do a new design because the previous ones were inline heads and the one I've been using wont' work well on a 3-a-side.

G'day H, on my current Swampy Tele I used transfer decal paper and reversed it out so that the background was solid black and the logo white which comes out clear so that whatever colour is on the headstock face can show up in the logo or script text. Pretty easy and would work better with a laser printer as the ink jet I used lacked depth of colour and the black was not as dark as it should have been.
