Buy them from Fender - they come with a guitar though.

Cheers,

OP you may want to do a search on this one..... :?
And asking this question on the Fender Forum is kinda like going to Audi and asking them for RS4 badges to put on a Honda/Hyundai.

It is a taboo subject here for good reasons and you are proceeding at your own peril....
ZZDoc has well illustrated this subject in a couple of threads.....Take a moment and read up.

Now I will add that if you are looking to actually replace a decal on an original older Stratocaster then I believe Fender will do that, but if I'm not mistaken it takes a bit of effort to (1st) go to a Fender dealer and get them to submit the request and then (2) either they can do it or the guitar has to be sent back to Fender.....

Not wanting to throw a monkey wrench into the works BUT... At one time in the late '60's early '70's, Fender actually sold decals to the dealers to reapply to Fender guitars that had theirs peel off. They also sold factory second bodies and necks. A company here in Memphis that was a Fender dealer was buying all they could get their hands on, assembling them and putting their custom neck plates on them. Lets say Fender wasn't real happy with them when they found out what they were doing.
I did find a vintage Fender Mustang decal on Ugh-Bay, Oaf-Bay whatever you want to call it about 9 years ago. A guy had bought it and never used it. It came with the instructions on how to apply it that used the chemical "Americord" mixed 1:10 with water. The reason I know it's official, it's printed in reverse on the back side of the paper with the outline of the headstock on the front side. Happy hunting dude.

P.S. The chemical that "Americord' is made of is butyl cellosolve in case you run across a GENUINE decal during your hunting.
