Finally got a new guard, courtesy of Earlpilanz.

I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

I’ve got a thing for messing with decals on my parts casters - a few have mirror imaged logos like this one.
You know, the one thing that's always off - to me - is the logo on left-handed guitars. The big letters/text are always on the smaller side of the headstock. Other lefties can weigh in, but wouldn't the world be a better place if all logos were mirrored on left-handed guitars? Reading backwards (for a few words max) doesn't seem like a difficult task for anyone. And if people can't read well enough to know that Squier is not spelled Squire... effectively nothing will have changed in that regard ;)
