Members Vince Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm building a strat at the moment, and I want to get my logo on the headstock. I could get a decal made in gold with a black outline (regular fender style) or I could paint it on. I don't like the look of surf green on wood (too pale and not enough contrast) but I do quite like the look of a painted headstock with a white logo. Am I mad or should I continue with this idea???

Members Ryan Trevisol Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Depends on the color really . . . like for Lake Placid Blue, Candy Apple or Fiesta Red, I say hells yeah, but for black, and pale pastels, I think it looks kinda lame.

Members caveman Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Whatever turns you on but painted headstocks on a Fender look so Carvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nighthawk15 Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Its all opinion really. For example you don't like the surf green on maple, but I think it looks pretty good. If you like the painted headstock go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members go cat go Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Can't stand painted headstocks. They look like an uncircumcised cock. Go with the traditional decal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poolshark Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Painted headstock is the winner here. Never seen one on a strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 It really depends on the guitar. If it's got a rosewood board it looks cool. I don't like it with maple. I remember when they did the Am Std guitars with the painted headstocks back in 94/95. The maple ones looked strange IMHO. I just built a Jazzmaster and I painted the headstock. On a Strat I would be more likely to leave it as is. On a Jazzmaster or Jaguar I would def paint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
