Hey, you guys caught the drop shadow! Good eye!

That decal was made with one of those hobby shop kits you use with an ink jet printer... nothing to it. I understand the urge to fill that naked space on the guitar... but filling it with a Fender logo isn't just illegal, it feels wrong.... and I'm a huge Warmoth fan, but I wasn't putting that turtle on it, no way.

QED. Just Google Fender water-slide decals - there are a bazillion makers out there, and with the right paper/ink combo, you can make your own at home.

Yeah, that's the illegal thing I'm talking about right there.

I don't understand why you would even want a Fender logo on that thing.

There's a thread on the creation of the Supermarine Strat. It's origins do not violate any trademark issues.

why? was it made of original fender parts? guys i've already come up with something but you'll have to wait until it's done ... the parts have arrived and are in the custom shop ready to be worked out i'll start a thread as soon as i get some photos

I'll defer to its creator on that one. There's a thread on it.

Seeing as you are Fond of the Fender logo and seeing as the custom shop is just starting up, how about "Fonder startocaster" (done like the original). Ted

yeah i thought of that but i already chose what i'm gonna do

Well, simply, I don't.

As-a-matter-of-fact, Fender's logo doesn't deserve to be on that headstock. I've played FCS strats. I've played "Masterbuilts". I can say without pride or prejudice I'd rather have this guitar than anything made by Fender. The guitar was built after a particular Dave Murray guitar, which happened to be made by Fender (and is a partscaster at that). That's the only reason why there's an F logo on my DM strat.




It has exactly one 'Fender part'. The middle single coil is a FCS Texas Special. Any more "original fender parts" and I'd have to kick my own a**.

Seeing as how its been mentioned, the full build thread:

Ditto! It pretty much knocked me out just watching that project unfold.

this is what inspired me to get started on mine actually that and a few custom shop models

Well you certainly had a proper motivator.

i'm not exactly into metal (though i do listen to it for some inspiration) i'm more of a punk grunge guy and i think you'll see that on the guitar (warning this guitar is not a relic )

I'm sure we are all in anticipation of the outcome of your project.
