NGD: USACG JM.

Mastery hardware bridge/trem, '65 pups, Cts pots, wired like a tele for simplicity. Thing rips.


Do I decal the headstock or leave as is? I don't want to add a fender one. Maybe something custom? Any recommendations?

Decal or not, it's awesome.

Awesome guitar! I just use an ILF-sticker on my headstock.

Looks great man. ILF sticker on the headstock would look pretty badass

Sexy! I'm not sure about a decal, it looks sort of weird without one but at the same time I dig the simplicity of it.

Tasty, and really dig the Tele switching!

Ditto. I think it needs something, but will admit that I am a sucker for waterslide decals.

Black outlines with silver foil? Is there a story behind this sweet lass? Seems like a custom decal needs a meaning.

It's basically an homage to a handful of guitars I've had stolen from me recently...with a few tweaks to the electronics.

I'm torn on a decal. I like the simplicity. But I think it could still stay that way with a simple waterslide or something.

No shit. That is seriously awesome. Is it like a smokey transparent layer over white?
I could do with a darker one for an upcoming project....

These guys are supposed to make good custom decals.

Just got a really nice early 60's from Old Fret. Maybe see if they'd do a custom one?

Always liked just how custom these are:

Kinda cool to hire someone to do this for you if you were into that.

Great looking guitar Adrian! I'd be tempted to do a minimal graphic on the headstock, like an arrow or a bullseye or something. Or like the silhouette of a cat or a bird. Or stamp my initials into the wood with old typewriter keys or something. I'd make it my own.
