It is a great looking logo! You are worrying too much...

Providing you use Ebony Veneer and Black Superglue any gaps will be pretty much invisible. My advice is just do your best with the dremel for the i and use a drill for the dot. Make sure the glue is proper dry before sanding or inlay dust will mix with it and make it go grey.

Apologies for the Edit button and Quote buttons not working. It is related to a discontinued plugin the site uses. The team have fixed it but it breaks again when updates happen - we are working on a more permanent fix and will keep yous informed...

I think whatever you go for, it should be design unto itself, not dependent on the shape of the headstock.

Here are a few tests, just to see...

I wonder if there are any other aspects of Mackintosh design that you could put into the guitar.

Whaddya reckon? Willow Tearoom or Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen?

have you thought about using laser cut veneers?

@darrenking A’m no daein’ it masel!

I was thinking of smallwondermusic.co.uk as recommended by Bailey Guitars, or rothkoandfrost.com where I spotted the chequered binding. But that would be either Mother of Pearl or celluloid.

I’ll just have a quick Duck Duck Go* of laser cut thingies.

I prefer the straight up and down James..... looks great.

Hi James, the top two look great but I don’t like the italic version. The font is stylised enough already IMHO.

PS I have a laser cutter! .....

@jamesbisset

I think both versions of the logo look great! Almost hard to choose...

I like what you did to the LP headstock, that little hole makes a big difference.

Hi James

I'm in two minds about your logo font. To keep with the Mackintosh style, then straight, and I think that suits the gibson style headstock. I would  say the sloped one looks better on the tapered headstock though. If I was made to choose, I'd go for the sloped logo.

Hi James,

have you thought about using laser cut veneers?

Darren

@darrenking any chance that you can send me some info about this?

Cheers
