Don't . If it ain't the real deal don't be throwing some Jazzmaster decals on it . A knockoff guitar deserves classy knockoff decals . Something creative .

Yup. I bought decals for a jazz bass I painted that had a matching decal. I didn't get ripped.
And if you've ever built models before, you won't have any problems applying.

I say go ahead and get a jazzy decal for your strat neck because you can always throw the xaviere neck back on it.

you have one of my necks? are you talking about the strat neck i did for you ages ago?

yea dude. you did that neck for me, then you sent me this extra random neck in the mail too because you said you took too long n shit.
the neck i sent to you is on my Blue Duocaster III right now. the extra neck is going on this guitar.
the Swanson logo peeled off the headstock about only a week after you sent it to me.
almost like you didn't apply the decal glue and just layed it on there and sprayed over it.
no mind. Ive got Dots looking for the extra DOTSMASTER decal we gave him to put on it.

oh yeah! i remember that neck, i think it was a mighty mite neck. the decals i had made ages ago didn't have any glue and were super thick so i literally had to lay them on, and then spray over them.
that was a really nice neck if i remember correctly.

So glad you're getting this! See, I guess your birthday wasn't all bad.
When you return home and have a chance to work on it, can you take some measurements of the neck pocket for me? I have an old maple Strat neck I'd like to throw on it if I can. I'm also curious if a Mustang bridge will fit.

jessie has written one of the best songs ever to never be released. "untitled 3" (coca cola orig lyrics)....hell coca cola it self wasn't ever on an album, just a b side on sewing season single. this version is a million times better. the old lyrics hit you. the whole arangement is fucking sick.
