I won a de-logo'd Strat neck on eBay for $40, perfect for my project. Maple cap w/rosewood. I was sort of wondering how I should dress the headstock because plain is sort of boring to me. I was thinking a thin, enamel paint in bright colors. But I'd really like some input before I mess up, or beautify this piece. Also, recommend some lacquers and some tones for stains. Name brands, colors, etc. I'll definitely do some before and after pictures when it arrives (Dec 1st-Dec 8th)

I'm still in need of suggestions. I also want to do a new nut and albalone inlays.

I can't write cursive. I might get some enamel and do an artsy Fender logo. Maybe in pink :mrgreen: It all depends on what kind of paint I can find.

Nice idea, but it would look sort of narcissistic.
