Do (did?) they come as that entire sheet? If so, looks like there are a lot of logo choices available  :)

If the quality wasn't too bad, it might be nice to have a couple of those around. Still, it kinda baffles me why they put "Stratocaster" and "original contour body" together on the Jazzmaster decal. I mean, this way you have to cut it into pieces whether you are trying to make a Jazzmaster or a Strat decal  ::)  I had another'62 Jazzmaster before which was refinished white with a matching headstock and when applying the decal, someone clipped the offset body part and slid it out further, like a Strat. It always bothered me  >:( Plus they refinished the back of the neck on that one too  :o

nice looking decals but to me they aren't usable if you have to clip and paste bits.. i'd rather have the hole thing

It makes me  sad. They cleaned this one up to be immaculate before finishing it too, so it was really, really pale. I think people think it helps value to refinish a sunburt to some custom color. I'd rather have a trashed burst than a shiny new custom color any day (not that I don't like custom colors).

I totaly agree...it's madness that people still think that a vintage guitar that looks new due to a refin is more valuable than a beat up original one with loads of character!
