  • In this video I put some finishing touches on my DIY Les Paul. I finally got my water slide decal in the mail for my DIY Les Paul Custom, and in this video I place it on the headstock. It's not perfect, but I think it worked just fine! I shared the link below if anyone is interested in getting one of these decals from the seller I used on eBay. I hope you like the video.

    I’ve seen hundreds of headstock conversion videos and am a,ways amazed at the amount of people who choose waterslide decals over friskets. To each their own of course, but decals always seem to stick out a lot more. But the result came out great. Cheers.

    The cut border around the Diamond logo was still too wide, if that makes sense, still too much material. That's why it was bunching up near that post. Otherwise, WOW, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GUITAR!!! That color makes all the gold hardware stick out. WOW! Gorgeous, I love it! Now how does it sound?

    HOw are you liking the pickups? Did you raise the pole pieces to be fliush with the covers? Looks like they might be below the covers. I would have slid the diamonds into place before putting the logo on. It's more authentic that way. The master builders always put diamonds before logos. It might even be a Federal Law.....lol

  • @deandee8082
    @deandee8082 Рік тому +1

    headstock should be stripped, nothing on it, cuz there is work to do before and after the decals dry and set up, before they dry you need to squeeze all the bubbles out and sure they are entirely flat.. then after curing you need to sand down the edges, then polish and buff it all up so the decals are totally transparent, it's a process for sure, trying to put decals over the top the tuners and what not? huh? how are you going to dress and polish them, buff the headstock out? looks to me as if the headstock isn't perfectly flat as well, so the surface wasn't prepped accordingly to have a transparent decal..
    you want you decal material thick and made out of cellulose so it can be sanded and polished for total transparency, after time those decals willfilm up and get foggy, edges will grow, there are one or two videos I have seen on youtube that show how to do these proper so they look and remain perfect, have to start with the right decal and prep the headstock perfectly as well
