I have a recently acquired early 30’s Dobro with a badly damaged headstock decal- does anyone have, or know how to get a near correct replacement? I suspect the neck was refinished sometime in the past, and the decal was replaced afterwards, as it is not sealed under the finish. Thanks, Michael Hillman.

Thanks, Ian, I sent an email this morning, but I noticed the last postings on their website were from 2011-I'll let you know if I do hear from them, or if my email bounces back...fingers crossed! Michael

my email to them bounced back as undeliverable. Looks like the owner is or was Mark Reeder and the address is listed as Dickens Heath Road, Shirley, Solihull, West Midlands, B901QN UK - I'll keep digging.

| try etsy.com, there are a lot of folks on there that offer to make custom decals, but you would probably need to find some clean artwork. Good luck. |

There is a vendor on eBay, Ronny Taylor - vidiot72 - he made couple of waterslide decals that look good - won’t try to install one until the headstock is refinished, but they certainly look like one will do just fine. Thanks to everyone who responded with ideas!
