How to Make an Amazing Guitar Headstock Design with Decal Logo

In this video I I'm finally making my custom headstock with a waterslide decal. Turns out that its not that easy when it’s on a black background. I decided to change the neck on my first guitar build. It was a frustrating process but with a happy ending .

I’m heavily inspired by Novo guitars by Dennis Fano - and my building philosophy is - not to reinvent the wheel- but rather try to learn from the greats.

I’m a guitar building beginner and I have been following The Great Guitar Build Off competition 2020. I learned a lot from the competitors and that inspired me greatly to build a guitar myself.

I built my first guitar under lockdown last summer 2020 and guitar building kind of hooked me.

You can watch first guitar build right here:

I have bought a neck from GuitarAnatomy.com and the body is built of old pine wood floor boards from a house built in 1808.
Why is that a good thing? Because old wood is cool ... and also more resonant.

The point is to learn how to build great guitars. It can't be rocket science, but it's fascinating. My plan is to learn from the best by researching materials, components, and methods.
