Im building a CBG for a friend and we have seen some box's with designs of half naked women on them.
Iv looked through loads of sites and cant find any X(
Does anyone have one or know a site i can buy one from?
Thanx
p.s i borrowed the attached pic from another forum user. Sorry :)
I'd love to have a box like that for a build for myself.
Because my shop is open to the general public I couldnt display a CBG such as that but would still like to own one. I have a right if I want to right? right? after all, I AM pushing 60 and at my advanced age , you youngun's should respect my age and humor me.Thats what I'm going to run by my wife if I get my hands on something similar.
I wont work but its worth a try,,,,,,,,,
I wonder if Lori has anything close ,,, hmmmmmmmmm
Hi Tommy, To make them last you would have to spray varnish over them. There are different types of waterslide paper for white or dark surfaces - this was discussed previously here http://www.cigarboxnation.com/forum/topics/decal-paper-couple-4-que... I sometimes do up old classical guitars for the local school which often don't have all the fret markers in place and use these off ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Glow-in-the-dark-vinyl-fret-markers-EZ-to-see... in a pack you get small markers for the neck side and larger ones for the fingerboard. Once in place I go over them with the wife's clear nail varnish and they last well. Here is what they look like in place and it is much easier than using waterslides.

How hard waring are waterslide declas? Im building a new neck for my CBG and want to mark out the frets and just thought of using some waterslide decals.

Thanx David, the boc is for a friends CBG i said i would build him. He has found an old wooden box that was his Grandfathers. So we are going to use that.

Hi Tommy, The guitar is one of Daddy Mojos http://www.daddy-mojo.com/archives.html (bottom left picture) and now it is famous I doubt you can find a box at a reasonable price. Another option might be to get a plain box and put your own picture on it using a waterslide decal (same type that as a kid I used to put flags on the airfix models). You can get waterslide paper off ebay that lets you make your own using a inkjet printer or even simpler you can buy ready made decals off ebay. http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/HECTIC-DECALS__W0QQ_armrsZ1 Once in place you can spray some varnish over them to make them permamnent.
