To be honest just a simple Fretwell, maybe in the Fender font would be good.

What you think?
If I was named after my guitar playing ability, I would be called Fretcrap.

That's a shame as the neck will be arriving ready oiled!
I then used Halfords acrylic clear over the oil which took really well, and applied the decal, then many many many dust coats of acrylic clear, maybe 18 in the total, I did this as I made a mistake first time round with just 2 dust coats then 2 wet coats, these were a bad idea as the decal shrank and shrivelled all the gold, so it was either too wet or too cold, or probably both.

Should I mask off the edges of the headstock and just do the top?
I mask off the edges with low tack tape.

I will just have to take my time as I don't want to make a mess of the neck!

@simonRF that would be a perfect logo I think!
Are you allowed to use the 'F'? Or something similar?
I'll be in touch once the neck arrives and I'm closer to completion. Is it best to contact you through here?
Just had some pics from GSP!
Look at that Birdseye :-</p>

Should be here early next week!!
Fitted the bridge, cavity plate and strap pins.
Also spent a bit of time rubbing the wudtone finish with some crumpled as paper. To say that I'm pleased with gloss level is an understatement.
Let me know your thoughts.
