@@williamking7420 someone said you can use an ink jet, I'm gonna try over the weekend.

With Mexican Fenders, I really can't see much difference in quality to a Squier.

I don't know if got rid of all my fender and Gibson equipment when I discovered schecter guitar's...

Nice

@@pf100andahalf thank you!

@@JWEmbry-wc7qi thank you!

@@clickbaitcharlie2329 thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it

@@chuchuchip I've had bad results with krylon in the past, but I'm willing to try it again. I'm happy with the printer paper for now, it's actually fun for me to see what I can use around the house.

@@cool555breeze I've done that before while restoring an old Mustang for a friend.

Thank you!

@@rickhenry8760 thank you!

@@littlebritain64 I'm not sure if that would work, but someone in the comments said they buy packing tape at dollar tree, because it's thinner. There's always actual water slide printer paper, but I like this method, because it's cheap, and I can make a logo with materials I already have.

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse Absolutely right! But do try, I think It could work. The important thing should be applying the weight of the sandpaper everywhere at the same time, so the decal would become thinner the same everywhere.😊

@@TheSkarocker56 yeah, that works

@@dnrudix keep looking. You mean to say you've never even found a cheap acoustic? Like a Mickey Mouse type guitar?

Agreed. I don’t see how making a counterfeit makes it more legit.

I thought I explained myself well, even put a replica decal under the clear. Well, I'm glad you think I did such a good job, that it would fool anyone. Especially the placement of the logo.

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse I didn’t say it’d fool anyone, nor that you were trying to. I said I don’t see how this makes it more legit. Personally, it’s never bothered me that my homemade guitars don’t have anything on the headstock. But if I did put one on, I’d want it to be a logo of my own design. That, to me, would make it legit

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse You can’t put a logo you don’t own on anything and claim it is just for the look. That’s how people justify buying Chibsons. And then saying that it looks more legit completely undermines your point. You’re trying to make it look more like the real thing. Your intention is irrelevant and it justifies others doing it for the wrong reason. If you use a brand logo that doesn’t belong to the guitar you put it on, you’re creating a fake, a counterfeit, however you dress it up.

This was a Fender Starcaster, so sold by Fender, not exactly a chibson, but whatever.

@@FoulOwl2112 good tip, I did have trouble with one cheap brand before, but I can't remember where I got it from.

@@cobar5342 thank you

@@cyberhead243 yes, true, but I didn't want to say that, because someone will say I'm gonna trap soap under the logo, lol.

@@SusBoi1 you're welcome!

I just like using things that I already have, and am happy with the results.

@@1683clifton I personally haven't tried, but I pinned someone else's comment that said it will work with almost anything.

Standart printers can't even print white (ink/pigment). White in (standard printer) printed pictures is just unprinted white paper. So a standard printer won't work with white logotype and this method

@DaP84 thanks, good point.

@@rack1850 good luck, hope it works

Ok, it makes sense to me, and I just shared what I did.

@@officialWWM thanks!

@@metalhead7181 it's definitely a Mexican strat

@@Kommander_Rahnn surprise, surprise, as usual, you fit a certain stereotype. Zero content of your own, and stupid, and literally ignorant comments.

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse Zero content is irrelevant 🤡🤡🖕🏻🖕🏻

You don’t need to buy a laser printer; you can ask a friend to print it for you - if you have any friends.

@@mattek8448 someone in the comments said it works with any printer, but I haven't tried it yet.

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse should work, all color mediums you use are pigments. And I'd think they'd all/or most stick to the tape

Thank you!

@@chrissoprano5360 thanks for watching!

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse You're welcome.

@@pzuliomaccavellion9711 thank you!

@@codelicious6590 when I said you need a laser printer I was repeating something I heard long ago from someone else. I meant to say I'm not sure if it will work with a regular printer, maybe it got edited out. I'll be sure to try out various prints myself. Thanks for the heads-up!

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse I’d be curious to know if this method really works well with inkjets, magazines, photos printed on photo paper by home printers, etc., as well as using color vs black. Would also be helpful to know how well each type of these transfers adhere and what it looks like on a variety of finishes like poly, satin, open pore satin, nitro, tongue oil, etc. I like this idea - not just for logos and written phrases, but to add pictures of objects/heroes/loved ones and/or abstract designs. To accommodate large images that would take up most or all of the guitar body, you could use a large aluminum baking pan for the water to accommodate bigger (you could get a turkey sized one vs. smaller sizes) or even apply the image in several sections if you’re precise enough to keep everything straight and consistent or use painter’s tape to make a line guide. At any rate, this is a fun idea! I think I saw someone do this once before, but nobody ever verified all of the above. Maybe you can make a follow up video to test a variety of finishes - you don’t even need guitars to do this sort of test if you have some scrap pieces of maple, mahogany painted with each type of common finish. If you’re looking for content ideas, it would be extremely helpful for people looking for inexpensive ideas to mod their guitars. Thanks!

Thank you, and thank you for all the ideas. I'll definitely keep it in mind.

I think I've heard you get best result with laser, most contrast/darkest hue with black logotype

Ink jet (unless pigment ink) doesn't work.

@@MarkMcCluney thanks, hope you are doing well.

@@ImprovGuitarJams yes, the one that his son showed on Norman's Rare Guitars.

@@r4m0n0 for scuffing before painting, I use 400-600, or fine scotch Brite. For wet sanding, it depends how bad it is. I had one guitar that didn't need wet sanding at all, but most I might start with 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000. You can get a cheap variety pack at autozone.

@@jchavins I've done this many times, and used Duplicolor a lot more. I love it.

Thanks for the info!

@@epiphonium cool, I've used it for other things besides guitars too, but I can't remember what right now.

Thanks!

@@AndrewAHayes thanks for the tip!

@@DE-GEN-ART yeah, a guitar without anything on the headstock just doesn't look right. Also, you've given me an idea, how about the word Fender, but replace the f with a question mark?

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse Excellent idea. I’m going to put your channel on the back in small print

That's funny

@@billysmether6237 thank you!

@@ErickvdK oh, yeah, I was thinking that they weren't expensive. Even waterside decals are pretty affordable, but I like using things I have on hand, and for cheap.

@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse Figures, looking at the name of your channel, haha.

Work with any printer?

@@Alexmoon-e2s it won't look as good as you'd want.

Thank you!

Thank you!

@@ashleycampbell613 thank you, very nice of you to say.

@@OREGONhasbeeninfiltratedFKCPS no, I don't think so, did you also change the resistor?

Thanks, it's a pretty cool idea, I thought.
