I love it and that mother of toilet seat on the head stock is over the top cool too. Good going, you knocked it out of the park Brad! |

There’s a man name Neil Harpe who is THE authority on everything Stella who also happens to be an artist and he copied them -not exactly but his interpretation and sells them on his website. I also am having another Stella decal made that goes around the soundhole by a decal maker -Bedlam designs .if you send the artwork to him he can make pretty much anything you want. He has been making my Goodman decals for me. You could also buy the special paper for the decals and then print them yourself as well. If you’ve never worked with them there’s a little bit of a learning curve they are very delicate so you have to be really gentle when you’re putting them on but you get used to it after you ruin a bunch Fortunately they’re not very expensive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Love the guitar Brad. Looks like a well loved guitar with a story to tell even though it's new! |

I don't say much around here. I spend more time reading than I do posting, and I have learned a tremendous amount over the years. But I had to chime in on this one. That is one exceptionally cool guitar. Nice work! ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

Fretboard inlays are nicely balanced! What type of relicing methods did you employ? |

Very cool! I do love a guitar with a theme. Brilliant idea from my sister: Replace the tuner buttons with dice. |
