    Anyone have a source for a company that can make custom paper faced labels to go inside a guitar. I’ve been printing them with a laser printer for years, cutting them out, and gluing in. I’d like something that looks better and is adhesive backed to sign, date, and stick inside guitar.

    Thanks

    Hi: I had my labels done up in Photoshop and then printed through a decent print shop that makes business cards etc. They had hundreds of papers and ink colors to choose from. All in all it was pretty economical for 500 labels and I’m very happy with the result. They only thing I did not have done was adhesive backing. I just spread a thin layer of titebond on the label and apply it. I hope this helps. Thanks. Michael

    Hi Scott – we have seen some Luthiers do something novel and artistic – replacing the paper label with a thin wood cutout – that is a design see through the soundhole – the information can be engraved into the wood – the possibilities are limitless – and you can use cut-outs from the build to design the inner wood ‘label’
