FENCER HEADSTOCK DECALS, must be a better way
I recently bought decals for a tele that I am working on from "decal fish" the arrived today and they look absolutely awful. super low resolution scans and no metal in the ink. super crappy I must say... Where can I find a better decal?
if this question has already been answered please forward me to the post, thanks for your time!

Re: FENCER HEADSTOCK DECALS, must be a better way
Hi. Can you post a photo? I'm curious what they look like. I'm guessing they were inkjet decals?
If you need Fender decals there is a guy on the Reranch forum who makes the best repros I've seen (though I've only seen photos). They are actually screen printed and made in the old meyerchord style.
If you want to go custom... pm me. I do high quality custom jobs for builds.

Mr. Bennett's work is top notch - quality decals and great work ethic. The "Strummer" decal pictured above is mine!

Can you do white, by any chance? I just ordered a white Mosrite from some stranger in FL.

Thanks for sharing the photos. I suspected Decalfish had stolen images from oldfret.com, who actually makes nice repros. That is a crap business plan. I would try to get my money back for those. They are inkjet prints from low rez decal scans.

Re: FENCER HEADSTOCK DECALS, must be a better way
Yeah I suspected that too. I was looking for decals online and there were websites that had the same pictures but they seemed very suspicious. Yeah once you look through their store they have listed "Fencer" and other guitar decals but were not there it seemed like a joke or fraud. I'm just afraid of being ripped off.
I like to build s***!

I recognize that one! That really did come out great. Kudos sir! I like the design and the execution. You just cannot beat that raised ink quality to silk screening.jbennett wrote:Thanks! Here is that Strummer shot you sent me. Great photo...

Go for a 'jbennett' decal. They are supreme.
Here's one he did for my partso-strat. Got it in the mail today.
