The Graphics Help Thread

I'm hearing ya SM, for my others I will be looking for something unique.

My tribute Tele could never be passed off as the Custom Shop original or even an Aliexpress knockoff, it has a bolt on rather than through neck and the wrong tuners.

I also sign, date and name the guitar on the neck heel and in the neck pocket of all my builds.

Here's another go, there is a second option here for the dogs head with a mother of pearl style texture. It looks like the maple shows through on the stripe and eyebrows so I have left them clear.



Theoretically speaking you should be able to click on this link to get it in PDF form here - this will allow better scaling than the j.pg as its all vector.

Cheers.

Very cool, thanks Sonic I owe you a beer or three next time I'm in your part of the eorld

[I’ll give it a go]

Yes please sonic, I would like to take up your offer. My headstock is virtually done and I’ve been trying to create my own but I’m really struggling as I do not have the software or know how.

This is what I’ve got so far

I like the brush script MT writing, I’ve been trying to get it following the curve but failing.

Also on the napkin I like the little music notes either side.
My GJB would be encased in a circle ⭕️ (black circle).

That’s it really,

Thank you in advance.

Sure, that's pretty straight forward. If you PM me with an email address I'll send through a pdf with it at a couple of different sizes so you can find the best fit. Also, I don't suppose I can talk you out of brush script? It's one of those fonts like papyrus/comic sans/calibri that is a default font and very over used. I've done a second one here in a different script.

Completely up to you.

Thanks Sonic, that looks awesome. And yes mate, I can be talked out of brush script. Im open to all ideas.

Ok no probs. I've just sent an A4 page with both of these at various sizes. I recommend just printing it out on some plain paper and working out which is best fit before printing on decal paper.

Got it. Big thank you mate

So I did a test today on the graphics that Sonic did for me .

I used packing tape and the inkjet printer from work and the printer at home I bought from woollies.

Printer from woollies failed miserably as the ink came off the tape when soaking in the water.

The printer from work worked the best. I used an old bunk bed rail to practice on.
The first one you can see white opaque around some edges, that’s because I left it in the water too long and the water has softened the adhesive too much.

The second one above has worked perfectly. Glad I had some practice runs at it.
