Ok, the new green Strat needs a headstock sticker because it's currently blank, and I want it to be in-keeping with the headstock - so it has to be a 70s Fender-style "block logo", like this:
I've got half of it sorted - "With Synchronised Tremolo" is going to say "By MJT, Missouri" and where "Original Contour Body" is, I'll have my name. But I need a good name to replace Fender Stratocaster, I can't really call it a Fender because it isn't one.
I was thinking "Fastercaster" for the second word, but I don't know what to do for the first. I quite like "Verdant" due to the colour... ideally I want it to look reasonably similar, but as @ICBM suggested a while back, putting an actual Fender Strat logo on it is a trifle dishonest.
Open to suggestions!

It's your guitar man, make it look how you like!
I like the verdant idea, though. Better than anything I'd come up with.
Mine will have fiesta funkocaster on it.
It's going to be red, so makes sense, but it doesn't look or sound quite as nice as "verdant fastercaster".

Render Startocaster?
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Yes I know the legal position, but frankly don't care what some giant US corporation thinks about my guitar leaned against my amp in my house 6,000 miles away, they can take care of themselves.
I've spent a substantial part of my income on Fender gear since 1981, if I happen to want a partscaster to look "proper", logo included then I will, in fact I might even tap 'em up for all the advertising I do by using it.
One rule for Slash, one rule for all.
I've just stuck a decent "Fender" replica on the front of my self built Strats/Teles, got the bairn to write something on the back of the headstock with a thin point marker pen then sprayed a couple of coats of clear lacquer over the top.
