You can buy the paper yourself easily enough and create whatever if you have/ have access to an inkjet printer.

Mono laser will give a better result, imho.

Applying the decal to the headstock is harder than printing the decal.

Neither are particularly challenging though.

Just do a bunch of test prints on paper until you get the size you want, then put in the decal paper and print off a copy.

Here is one of mine:

I've seen it on amazon but just search for water slide decal paper it comes up easily enough. Out of interest do people who use these for logos then finish them in some other way? I have water slide decals ( not the logo) on my strat and they aren't hardy.

I've done the DIY route several times with very good results.

Clear coat over it- build it up in layers until the edge disappears.
