I decided to do something new with this guitar. Pretty much all of my past projects have either Fender names or elements. When I started doing logos for people and headstock art, I came up with a company name so I could do them legit. I used Eleventh Division. I owned the domain already and I thought it sounded cool. I made a simple logo that works well, but it got me thinking about headstocks. My logo wouldn't work well and I was trying to figure out how to get it to fit on a headstock. This is what I came up with.

I like fancy script, but the name Eleventh Division was kind of long so I decided to put Division under it and use a plain font for contrast. I think it looks pretty cool. I made my logo round so it would work on a headstock better.
I also took my logo and made it sized for a neck plate. I am having one made for this project. I figure when I do a custom project for myself, I will use my Eleventh Division logos from now on. (That way it doesn't look like I am trying to make it look like a Fender or whatever.)

I thought about giving guitars model names, but for now, I am going to stick with Gibson's example and just put the name and logo only. If I design my own custom body shapes, I will name them, but for parts projects like this, I will just use my own name. I was kind of inspired by Copland Guitars in this route because that is what he does. (And I made his logo.
