Question about custom graphics

Joined: 20 Aug 2008 Posts: 2182 Location: New York City

I'm curious as to how the graphics are made on the guitars pictured below. It's my understanding that it's a vinyl top? Can anyone elaborate how such a thing is made and how difficult it'd be to replicate it? I'm interested in doing something similar to a future guitar.

Here's a few pics:

And IIRC, the same custom graphic type of top was found one the USA Razorback V Explosion:

Thanks fellas Cool

Anyone who wraps vehicles in vinyl could make another vinyl for your guitar. It would be difficult to get one to be the exact same, but you could get one close for sure.

Hm, is there some sort of template? I think there is since Dean reproduced the skulls Razorback import in relatively large numbers.

I was quoted last night, for a 'wrap' for the top of a Soltero, with a Camoflage, for $40.

I imagine, you just supply them with a high rez image, and they put it on the vinyl.

You could try sending a PM to JTF. I have done 2 graphic guitars for him with images he made and had printed into stickers. I just applied them and painted the rest of the body.
