SE Headstock Mod - Fun times with Vinyl

[Draconomics]

A couple months ago I cam across an old post by some dude here where he was doing a few upgrades/cosmetic alterations to his Zach Meyers SE. Something that caught my eye was he used a product called Di-Noc, which is basically a wood grain vinyl wrap, and overlaid it on the headstock. I thought it was kinda rad, and not a bad idea to try out. I found a place called RMWraps, and they sell 8X10 sample sheets of Belbien (similar to Di-Noc). Perfect for my nefarious purposes. So, went ahead and did it to the PG, and here's the result. I dig it. Plus its non damaging to the finish, so it can be removed in a cinch.

Original...

Current

Yeah...I kinda thought about it. There's a dude from the UK that makes water slide decals for a bunch of different brands, including PRS. It is possible, all one need do is put a thin poly coat over the vinyl. It would probably be frowned upon tho. I'd like to put something there, its kinda naked.

I think it looks great! I personally don't see an issue with adding a waterslide decal to an actual PRS after changing the headstock finish.

I agree. Headstocks without logos do look a little naked. Your cool truss rod cover and the PRS shape help dress it up though.

That looks impressively good!

It was really easy to do, and the Belbien samples are only 3 bucks. You get enough material so if you goof on the first try youll have plenty to try again.

Looking forward to your end result. If you keep it naked it looks great.

Looks great! Dig the dragon TRC too!

I purchased one of said signature decals for a project i was working on, and wound up not using it...see if you can hold out and get the man himself to sign it for you...

Thanks! That TRC I guess was the last of its kind, can't find it anymore.

Actually...that is not a bad idea at all.

Those kinds of "fun times with vinyl" will cost a little more than $3 a sample.
