Guess I'm out of luck. I can't afford to buy a laser printer just to make a headstock logo! LOL
@@williamking7420 someone said you can use an ink jet, I'm gonna try over the weekend.
That's what fender does to on their guitars also they just put put a different label on it and charge you like a thousand dollars extra for it.
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...
Esto lo hacía yo hace casi 15 años aquí en venezuela
Nice
Great video.
@@pf100andahalf thank you!
This was interesting, thanks for sharing it with us.
@@JWEmbry-wc7qi thank you!
Nice work. I see a few applications for this technique. Well done, fellow.
@@clickbaitcharlie2329 thank you!
When I was a teen ( a long long time ago ) music stores sold actual logos.
Loved your realness , respect for your time, great video. Such a change from some of the precious stuff on the channel, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
You have a laser printer, why not print on water slide decal paper? I have done this on my Warmoth stratocaster. I just gave it a custom name with as close to a Fender font I can come up with. Have you tried Krylon clear? I use this clear on my model outdoor trains. I just use the UV resistant kind. Not necessary for the guitar. Comes in flat, satin, matt or gloss. Acrylic used a lot by artists.
@@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.
Been making these for years. You can also use a hollow font and fill it in with gold or silver marker. 👍🏻
@@cool555breeze I've done that before while restoring an old Mustang for a friend.
Beatimuss
Thank you!
Fantastic job and I appreciate your candor in this project !
@@rickhenry8760 thank you!
Maybe You can scratch the tape on very light grade sanding paper once you prepared the paper-tape combo sticker to make it thinner. And make it shine using an ultra light sanding paper.
@@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.😊
I think I'll just use waterslide printing paper 🤔
@@TheSkarocker56 yeah, that works
Man I never find guitars 😢
@@dnrudix keep looking. You mean to say you've never even found a cheap acoustic? Like a Mickey Mouse type guitar?
You say ‘complete a look’, but if using a brand, that completes the look of a counterfeit. It really does. Especially when you say making it look ‘more legit’ like a traditional Stratocaster. It’s to make something look like something it isn’t. Which is a fake.
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.
"rednerf" It's like the kid in The Shining.
I've been using this technique for years. With great success. You demonstrated it quite well. I use the absolute cheapest packing tape l can find. From the Dollar tree. It's so thin and flimsy compared to the name brands. I've found it leaves less of a witness line in the top coat.
@@FoulOwl2112 good tip, I did have trouble with one cheap brand before, but I can't remember where I got it from.
Very good technique. Thank you
@@cobar5342 thank you
Will slide easier with soapy water.
@@cyberhead243 yes, true, but I didn't want to say that, because someone will say I'm gonna trap soap under the logo, lol.
Quickest 5 minutes ever!
Brother!!!!Thank you!!!I tried everything else ,,,,, Exactly what was wrong !!!! Thx again
@@SusBoi1 you're welcome!
Why not just buy some water slide decal paper? Same process minus the messy paper coming off the back into the water. The tape has got to be super thick compared to a decal too.
I just like using things that I already have, and am happy with the results.
Will it work with a different color even white?
@@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.
Great tip !!! Thank you I've been paying someone to make my decals . I will try this method tonight !!!! Rock on !!!!!😊
@@rack1850 good luck, hope it works
If you already have a laser printer, why not just use the proper water slide material? Packing tape is five times thicker. It doesn't make any sense when you could just do it right for the same amount of money and effort.
Ok, it makes sense to me, and I just shared what I did.
That’s awesome. I just bought some on eBay, I had no idea it was that easy to make them myself :)
@@officialWWM thanks!
It's a squire strat. It's probably worth about 150 bucks. You can upgrade it with better pickups and stuff. They're good guitars for a cheap price.
@@metalhead7181 it's definitely a Mexican strat
"Make a logo cheap using packing tape!" "Step one: buy a laser printer" 🤡🤡🖕🏻🖕🏻💩💩
@@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
LOOKS GREAT! ON THE CHEAP! VERY COOL! 🎸👍🎸
Thank you!
Fun projectGreat techniqueThank you for sharing.
@@chrissoprano5360 thanks for watching!
@@TomPetersonRefuseReuse You're welcome.
Great video, great tips! Cheers!
@@pzuliomaccavellion9711 thank you!
You definitely dont need a laser-printer for this. This method works for everything from old books and newspapers to magazines and standard ink-jet printed text and pictures.
@@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.
Great tip about removing the tape while the finish is still wet - that has never occurred to me before. That will be very helpful Tom, thank you so much.
@@MarkMcCluney thanks, hope you are doing well.
I think you are referring to the Hendrix guitar that he gave Frank Zappa yes?
@@ImprovGuitarJams yes, the one that his son showed on Norman's Rare Guitars.
Hi Tom, been following your channel for a while, awesome content. What grits of sandpaper do you normally use for the sanding?
@@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.
they sell clear adhesive printer paper......print, trim, peel, stick it on, spray the clear......Duplicolor Perfect Match isn't really very high quality....its just expensive......I certainly won't ever use it on a car again.......never spray any type of material (enamel, nitro, poly, urethane) over lacquer as lacquer will "gas off for months cause other types of clear to cloud up and or peel.....lacquer melts into the previous coat(s) and can wrinkle if spayed too thick
@@jchavins I've done this many times, and used Duplicolor a lot more. I love it.
You can also print onto plastic sheet(make sure you print letters in reverse). The ink won't dry out too fast. You can then transfer ink directly to the headstock. It will transfer to wood easily. Let it dry n spray a clear coat over the headstock.
Thanks for the info!
Cool guitars at the end. I got a MXR ten band EQ and put epiphonium on the side of it and then realized that was 10 letters a few days later. With the same tape technique.
@@epiphonium cool, I've used it for other things besides guitars too, but I can't remember what right now.
Great color!
Thanks!
A set of french curves are great as templates for cutting out these decals, you can get perfect curves for every cut, they look very profesional. I use them with my sublimation printer's prints for the face-plates of my DIY synthesisers
@@AndrewAHayes thanks for the tip!
the next parts-caster i put together im going to have it say "FENDER?" in their script, i thought it would be funny.
@@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
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@billysmether6237 thank you!
That worked out nicely! Decal sheets really aren't that expensive, buy a couple and fill entire sheet with logos of your liking, never again be without.😊
@@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?
Am thinking of restoring a guitar I found and I was woundeding if a paint brush would do the job ?
@@Alexmoon-e2s it won't look as good as you'd want.
Wow, that came out killer! Awesome job!
Thank you!
Very good idea 👍
Thank you!
Very nice done - love your work
@@ashleycampbell613 thank you, very nice of you to say.
Thank you for this !! I changed mine out before, and just like you, questioned if it had been wired correctly . . . Did yours still get hot quick , when you tried it ? Even with the thicker wires ? Mine did .
@@OREGONhasbeeninfiltratedFKCPS no, I don't think so, did you also change the resistor?
Great video and very helpful! Thanks!
Thanks, it's a pretty cool idea, I thought.
