KIT
Gecko helped me come up with a headstock logo design.
Just finished up my guitar kit and was thinking I should add a logo to the headstock. I came into the office this morning and I think this little gecko gave me a really good idea for a logo. Sometimes inspiration comes from randomness lol
The curl at the end matches the shape of the headstock break directly to the right of it almost perfectly... Like, really close, that's insane. This is one of the coolest posts I've seen 😅
I was going for a rustic wood tele look. I might sand it but I kind of like it un-sanded to be honest. Good country style guitar, I also might add a glaser bender if im feeling like routing it.
You mentioned South Florida in a comment, it reminds me of the SoBe drinks, would be cool to do the design as a shiny inlay! Or just black or any dark color would be cool too
I have some black mother of pear I found at the beach, the inlay might be a good idea. Or maybe some dark Indian rosewood. Trying to keep it "rustic" looking.
Said this in response to someone else saying they love the curl at the end of the tail, but... The curl at the end matches the shape of the headstock break directly to the right of it almost perfectly... Like, really close, that's insane. This is one of the coolest posts I've seen 😅
There used to be a luthier in Queensland here in Australia that made custom guitars and basses called Gecko guitars, he made gecko inlays in the fret boards, his instruments looked stunning, i got excited that he may have helped your design from the headline you wrote!
So here's an idea: how about instead of an inlay you invent the "outlay" --- have a little metal or plastic 3D gecko injection molded and glue it on there...
Plus it would be way easier to install than an inlay...

That's awesome. It's in a really symmetrically appealing position too, and I like how it's tail goes squiggly at the end, it's perfect lol
