Members dres_x Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 I have some...got some just for fun to change the looks of my guitar. I've had them for about a month, still stays on fine. Had to take one off to reposition it at the beginning and didn't see any residue on the fretboard. You apply it by rubbing it onto the transfer sticker, then rubbing it onto your guitar, but its basically just a sticker really. When I play I never really touch my fretboard much, but I haven't felt the stickers so it is as if they're not there. Will add pics tonight cuz I know those are expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members caveman Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 Looks pretty good. How do you stick em on? It comes as a paper backed sheet. You just peel the paper off the sticky side and put them on. I went down to the local sign shop to see if I could buy some vinyl and the the guy (a fellow geezer musician) cut me off a lifetime supply. I also found some 3 mil at the Ben Franklin store. They had a machine that you hooked up with your PC and it cut out whatever design you put in. Guys that like personalise their guitars could have fun with that.

Members steve_man Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 cool idea...would be interested to hear the results if you buy some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 I think those would be fun to play around with on a lower-end guitar, like say Squier, Xaviere, SX etc. But the thought of struggling to not place them on cock-eyed would stress me out.

Members ashtray Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 I bought a few sheets of inlay stickers off ebay (shipped from Japan). I got birds, fancy acoustic, blocks, and some other designs. The blocks were tough to get aligned perfectly. I put them on a strat, and it looked kinda funny. I put a set of birds on a bass, and they looked decent - but just WEIRD to see PRS style birds on a Fender bass! hahaha - I eventually took them off. The ones I had never came off while playing, but were easy to remove when I wanted. It didn't leave residue, but the fretboard was lighter under the sticker than the exposed fretboard - kinda like how the color under the pickguard is brighter than the body color after a couple years exposed to sunlight, etc. The stickers look fine from a distance, but do have a cheap look to them up close. I am saving my set of birds in case I ever buy a PRS SE series with dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Karma1 Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 I've been curious about those too. I have a Les Paul goldtop copy that I was thinking of putting the block inlays on the neck. I've read some people saying that they stay on ok but that's hard to imagine. I'd also love to hear from anyone else who has used them. I was hoping the company was in the US, but after checking, it looks like they are in Japan. Anyone done business with this company?

Members GAS Man Posted November 2, 2010 Members Share Posted November 2, 2010 I do something like that on one of my guitars with liquid paper. Reminds me, I did that to a classical guitar and then the teacher was all like "What's this?" F'n purists! Those classical guitar types sure feel there's got to be pain with the gain. He was trying to force me to sight read too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vultures Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 Always wondered how the held up with bends and through playing. Tired of the same old dot inlays on my guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members docrock55 Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 Always wondered how the held up with bends and through playing. Tired of the same old dot inlays on my guitars. No problem with bends. I have had some on two of my guitars for over a year with no problems. Great, cheap way to change the look of your guitar. There so thin you can't even feel them when playing or bending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members elovercast Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 I just put these on one of my guitars. Not super easy to install but not impossible. you just have to take your time, don't rush it. I can't feel them when i'm playing at all. can't speak to the longevity but others say that that hold up well. heres a slide show i made of before and after pic.

Members brianeharmonjr Posted November 3, 2010 Members Share Posted November 3, 2010 A friend of mine got the playing card set for his bass and they look pretty dang convincing. Don't think I would have known if he hadn't pointed it out. Not sure how they'd hold up over time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
