Custom 52 Style Guitar Headstock Waterslide Decal Transfer x2

You will receive 2 identical decals. Just add 1 to your basket and we will send 2.

Ours are the highest quality waterslide decals printed in opaque and truly metallic inks on clear water slide material. The images above show our decals applied to wood and lacquered over - no visible edge, no cloudy backing!

They are compatible with most spray lacquers including acrylic and nitrocellulose. The layout and fonts are as shown in the image(s) above - you can choose the colours and the text that you would like. This design fits most standard size 6-in-line electric guitar headstocks.

To order please fill out the options above before clicking "Add to Basket".

Using the example pictured above you would choose and type the following options:

• Colour: B: Silver Fill + Black Outline + Black Text
• Part 1: Rothko
• Part 2: "AND FROST"

Please type all text in the case you want it printed, i.e. if you want it in upper case type it in upper case. We will print the words exactly as you type them. If you require speech marks please type them. We fill the space with your text while not transforming the text, so just as it types naturally. An order for 1 or 2 characters will produce a significantly larger text size then an order for 9 or 10 characters, for example.

Waterslide decals cannot be applied to oiled surfaces. Full application and finishing instructions are included with each order which we strongly advise you follow closely irrespective of previous decal experience.

Please note: We print using ribbons and there is a visible line where the ribbons meet in some designs. On most decals this is not noticeable. The effect is more pronounced on larger blocks of metallic colour.

Our high quality guitar headstock decals are printed on to fresh, exceptionally thin waterslip paper which gives an incredible finish but some people find more delicate that other waterslide decals they have used in the past. We include an off-cut of material for you to practice with before applying the actual decal so that you can get an idea of how the material behaves. Please note that as these are custom made-to-order items they are exempt from UK Distance Selling Regulations; these decals cannot be returned unless they are proven to be defective or if the design is not as requested. In this situation a replacement will be offered.

Features:

• Our decals are precision made restoration quality decals printed onto the finest quality fresh waterslide paper.
• We use completely opaque and permanent inks, including truly metallic gold and silver, so unlike decals printed on inkjet or laser printers the colour of our decals is not affected by the colour of the surface underneath - our decals can be used on ANY colour headstock.
• The paper is ultra thin (allowing for a superior edgeless finish - like the originals), the unprinted areas remain totally transparent, and it is compatible with all spray lacquer types including nitrocellulose. 
• Our decals are not compatible with any brush on finishes including Tru-oil.
• Like all waterslide decals ours can only be applied to sealed, non-porous, non-oily surfaces (for example lacquered wood).
• They are designed and produced by us in our studio, printed freshly to order.

These are CUSTOM decals. Text will be printed in the fonts shown. Your requested design should not contain any trademarks or copyrighted designs unless you are the rights owner or have their express consent to use such marks. By ordering you agree to these terms.

Basic Application Instructions

1. Sand your lacquered headstock to 600 grit.
2. Cut the decal to a 'smooth pebble' shape - a precise outline is unnecessary.
3. Soak for a couple of seconds in water, then apply to headstock.
4. Smooth out and dry with tissue paper, then leave overnight to fully adhere.
5. Spray over with some clear lacquer.
6. Polish the headstock for a professional finish. Our complete polishing kit is ideal for this and contains everything you need for hand polishing lacquers to a high gloss.
