Custom headstock decals (text, layout, colour)

This collection focuses on custom headstock decals for real builds: balanced spacing, clean alignment, and a result that looks right once sealed. Choose your text and colour to create a custom headstock identity with a polished guitar headstock logo look (without messy DIY printing).

Best practice: apply on a clean, smooth headstock surface, then seal carefully with light clear coats first.

Designed to be sealed under clear coat

Most builders want a headstock logo that disappears into the finish. Our guitar headstock decals are intended for that workflow: apply, smooth, then seal under clear coat with controlled light passes before building up layers.

Pro tip (avoid edge lift)

Let the decal settle, ensure edges are fully down, then start with light clear coats. Heavy wet coats too early can disturb edges.

Quick FAQ

What are headstock decals used for?

Headstock decals are used to personalise the headstock with a name, model text, or a custom headstock logo. They are commonly applied before clear coating for a clean, factory-style look.

Are guitar headstock decals compatible with clear coat?

Yes. Most builders apply guitar headstock decals and then seal them under a clear coat. Apply light coats first and ensure the surface is clean and smooth before application.

Can I order custom headstock decals with my own text and color?

Yes. You can choose style, font and colour and add your text. If you need a fully bespoke layout or unique logo, contact us for a custom request.

Do you provide a preview before production?

On selected options you can request an email preview so you can confirm the layout before production.

What size should a guitar headstock decal be?

Headstocks vary by model. If you need a specific fit, you can request a target length in mm and the decal can be scaled proportionally to avoid distortion.

Is it OK to use brand names or trademarks?

We make sure the fonts used in our designs are not trademarked. Our custom headstock decals are made to fit popular headstock shapes (Strat-style, Tele-style, Les Paul-style, etc.). Brand names and logos remain the property of their respective owners.
