Hah hah! Man I love it! I do miss the cat avatar though, I still chuckle when I think about it! The decal looks good and it's completely freaking original! You have the only "look at my f'in balls" Ernie Ball Who Cares Man on the planet.

Hey check these out. I printed up a batch tonight and had some extra space so I printed up some larger slides. Remember, these are on clear paper so the white will dissapear. These would look killer on a light colored or natural guitar, maybe an acoustic, I haven't gotten a decal on an acoustic yet! Anyway, the Tarot card magician is about 4 1/4" X 2 1/2" or so and the palm readers hand is about 2 1/4" X 3 1/2

SPECIAL DEAL!!!!

$10 Each or both for $15!!!!!

Kinda, I slacked em up real good and moved them out of the way a bit. It was still a hairy three legged bitch to do. Those axis headstocks are little and the decal had to go under a washer right where the "ls...l" is, the first decal didn't stand a chance. But I figured I had four shots to get it right, it only took two.

Vidiot, what graphics program do you use to mock these up? Do you have a font that looks like Fender graphics or have you been freehanding the additional letters for some of these?


I'm getting ready to redo the neck on one guitar and buy another neck for a second guitar. I may redo the headstock on a third guitar, but it's black so I'll have to come up with something that'll go well.


What colours can you do? Being an inkjet type printer, I reckon everything short of white, yes? Once I get a few designs settled on, I'll hit you up for pricing. I'm sure I could come up with enough to fill a whole 8.5x11 sheet if that's the size you're using.


Thanks in advance =)

Mostly PhotoShop, I do have "the" font. I don't freehand anything, my handwriting even sucks. Yea, I can do everything but white...kinda. I'm trying to get the hang of printing on white paper instead of clear for black headstocks. I have had some pretty good tests. I'm also researching different methods of doing golds and silvers but it looks like I'll have to color those by hand. So far the best stuff I have done is the Fender stuff. It looks better on lighter headstocks...well anything but black. Check this out, I just put this on....

Whoa katillac, how d'ya get 100 posts away from Hall-of-Famer in ONE YEAR? I've been here 4 years, with full-time computer-related jobs (hint: lots of free websurf timewink.gif), and have barely half that!


BTW, beginning to worry if I addressed my check right, since it went out Monday morning but is still uncashed....

Enjoy Vegas Vid;) I've been there, but couldn't really have much "fun" because I was 11(and vegas was a LOT less kid friendly back then).
The only perc back then was I had a whole casino arcade to myself(which for an 11 year old was pretty sweet). Also, had a busty-blonde waitress give me a few bucks in quarters cause she saw I had ran out........Anyway, have a safe/happy trip.

I'll be back on the 28th. I'll have my laptop and I'll be checking stuff but I won't be printing or shipping anything. Hey tocs, what are you thinking? Thanks for the wellwishes altgtr, I haven't been to vegas since my mid 20's (I'm 37) but I used to spend alot of time there. My Father In Law is giving my wife and I his Harley and the key to his time share while we're there so it is sure to be fun. Maybe not as fun as an arcade to myself but fun nonetheless!

^ Hey vidiot, those muppets are a parody of the Hunter S. Thompson bio-flick Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. It's my way of saying have a blast! But if you have't seen it, wait 'til you get back from Vegas to watch it; or you'll not want to leave your hotel room....

Vidiot...the waterslides came yesterday and look great. I'll get some pics up as soon as I get these projects done...hopefully someday soon.

Thanks!

I have something special in mind for a very special project and I'll hit you up for some decals in the future.

Oh yea FALILV is one of my all time faves. So far Vegas has been pretty fun and really all we did was fly in, eat dinner, drink a few beers, walk the strip a little and go to bed.
Happy Father's Day Guys....we'll all of you Dads anyway.
