Luthitec

Luthitec specialises in decorative finishing components for guitar builders and luthiers — the kind of parts you see on the outside of an instrument once a build's done. We carry one of the largest Luthitec ranges in the UK, including body decals and wraps, headstock decals, pickguards, fret markers and shell inlay material.

Their body decal and wrap range is what most builders come for: over 150 paisley designs sized for Telecaster and similar solid-body shapes, plus metallic foil, snakeskin, tartan, holographic and abstract patterns. Choose paper-backed body decals when you're going to seal everything under lacquer, or waterslide decals when the finish is already cured. The pickguard, headstock decal and inlay ranges round out a full visual-finishing kit from one vendor.

Two practical tips when picking from this range. First, paper-backed wraps cover larger areas faster but expect a small learning curve on application — our paisley body decal application guide on the blog walks through it. Second, waterslide decals are the more forgiving choice for headstock logos and one-off detail work. If you're not sure which suits the project, the product page tells you which finish stage it's designed for.
