Mind you, I think 99.9% of pearl inlays look horrid as well, so that'll give you some context for my disdain... I'm so happy my twin A Series Seaguls were born before they started doing the headstock logo in pearl... I woulda hated to have to cut the top of the head off!!! :-) |

I'm sure that a few years ago it was possible to get a sticky decal of the Fender logo, but I suspect that they took it off the market about the same time that all the copy guitars started coming out. - Ian B |
