I'm toying with the idea of replacing the logo of one of my guitars with a headstock badge -- anyone have any ideas of where to look?
I do not want to use a logo from another guitar brand, but would rather find an older vintagey-type badge from a different type product.
The guitar is the Aieirsi parlor reso I picked up back in July. Now that it's settled in, it's turning out to be a great player, really nice sound (especially in Open D). The (ugly) logo is just a sticker, so it'll be easy to remove without marring the finish.

Hi, get a small brass plate & have your name engraved on it.

I missed this one originally. Here a Republic Hwy 61 headstock I decorated.Just found a few random nickel and sterling pieces on junk jewelry. The metal Republicbadge is on the back side.  |

Still haven't found what I'm looking for. There are tons of pins and tons of badges, just nothing quite "right" yet...

Now there's a coincidence, bought a couple of 1927 nickels to patch holes drilled in my tricone by the previous owner (I did some research and apparently that kind of butchery is still not illegal, strange world eh!?)
Mickey, I've come to like headstocks with nothing on them, I have a couple now and prefer my eye being taken with the form of the instrument rather than a commercial logo. Just a thought......

Chris Not a bad idea, actually. I really l ike the simplicity of the MM headstock too. Hmmm.... I could possibly "brand" it with some old lettertype... |

I was going to mention the MM headstocks too, my Lightning's logo is printed so lightly it can hardly be seen from a few yards away. Probably an anomaly but it works for me. Even when printed a little darker I prefer the simplicity compared with many a gaudy logo out there. Nearly ordered a Busker Deco at one point and was going to ask for the badge to be applied to the back of the headstock. One of the features of my Blueridge parlour that I really love is that they chose to impress their logo on the rear of the headstock, a brave, non commercial move which IMO looks very classy and classic. 'Nuff said.

Wow... a super rare Badly Made Monolian!
But yeah, that's the kind of badge I've been looking for. I'm not in any rush though. Unless of course THAT'S what holding me back from becoming the next R. Johnson?
