Question But NOOOOO! I Can't Get One Of Them!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Riddle me this one:

I can buy all the Fender DECALs - not those silly stickers of cut vinyl but REAL soak 'em in the water and slide them off types - all over the internet BUT---

I cannot find a GIBSON decal anywhere!

I am really - REALLY - cross my heart and poke a needle in my mother's eyes - am restoring a REAL Gibson 6-er guitar and I need a steenking Gibson decal!!!!

Whazzupwiththat??? Huh?

Gibson (FWIW) won't respond, so I gotta ask: Are there Gibson knee-breakers going around 'enforcing nice' on people or what?

That's because Gibson's use inlays instead of decals.

Hmmmmm. It (the old one) was rather tough to sand off for the refinish, come to think of it.

This is/was a GC-Special/Only guitar even as such I really don't honestly care about the resale value - but a decal on the head would be nice! Really!

Yeah no stickers with the Gibsons. But I do remember something about Gibson Headstock Veneer type plates at least I have seen it for the Les Paul headstock

That hadda be hidden on page 3,254,889 or so, as I did the 'waterslide + Gibson' search and got those ignorant vinyl cut-outs all the time.

Thanks - but that guy is sure proud of them for the price <sigh>

OK - I'm on it now though.

Yeah there were only two ads that popped up when I typed in Gibson waterslide. I didn't really look at the prices though.
