Design your own guitar headstock decals with Rothko and Frost. Whether you're a luthier building a brand, a guitar company ordering in bulk, or a player who wants a one-off custom look, we'll turn your artwork into professional-quality waterslide transfers.
Upload your logo, text, signature or complete design and we'll print it on ultra-thin waterslide film using high-resolution techniques with opaque metallic inks, including gold and silver. Once applied and sealed under lacquer, the decal edges vanish, leaving a smooth painted-on finish that looks like it was printed at the factory.
We offer decals shaped for Stratocaster, Telecaster, Gibson, bass and other headstock shapes, plus fully custom sizes if you've got an unusual outline. Each order includes two decals so you've got a spare for the first application attempt. For bulk runs, contact us for a quote: we work with builders and brands on multi-decal orders regularly, and pricing improves with volume.
If you've not applied a waterslide decal before, our application guide walks through the process. The short version: trim, soak, slide, position, dry, then lacquer over.

Really happy with the decal great quality and arrived really quickly will definitely use again thank you
Superb quality water slide decals and a great service from Nealy and Louis at Rithko and Frost. They checked that my artwork was correct and fully compatible before going to print ( first time I had used Photoshop to design logos )
Big hat off to the Rothko & Frost team. I’ve used them before and honestly they supply the best decals for guitar headstocks I have ever used. They’re ultra thin and surprisingly more durable than you’d think. Very easy to apply and always come with a how to guide. So if you’re wanting to update a headstock and struggling with who to use. These are your people and they have the products to do what you need. Also just pop them an email, I have before and again very friendly and informative.
Perfect match for the restoration of a 73 Telecaster. The guitar was in a basement flood and the neck needed to be completely refinished. The decal fit perfectly and looks great! Thank you.
After reading up on waterslides I wasn't too confident going into this. I have carpal tunnel and working with small and delicate things can be challenging at times. I figured putting this on would be nearly impossible for me. On top of that, they also state that theirs are more finicky than others...Well, I didn't have a single issue and nailed it on the first attempt. Cutting the decal off of the sheet was more difficult for me than installing it. Perfect! Looks like it was done by Fender.
Always a quick ship, bulletproof packaging and they get the custom work done right every time. Top shelf folks st R&F!
Lovely product. Easy to apply. Builds from very transparent right up to opaque if you so wish. Definitely bookmarking these guys!
If you need this material, it's very high quality and hard to find. Material is very thin making inlays dicey, make sure you dont make the cavities too deep. The 5mm dots were cut pretty nicely, however the 2mm were pretty torn around the edges and very taper, assuming from a punch. So pretty much impossible to make the side dots look perfectly round in the holes but what can ya do? Still looks pretty great, and the material itself was top notch. Delivery from UK took forever but thats nobodies fault. If you NEED these dots for a project i still recommend 5 stars, but get the biggest ones you can get away with as they will be cut more accurately.
excellent as always
“Does exactly what it says on the tin”. Just what I wanted, great
