My wife came up with a different dog logo for my guitars but I felt it would be to difficult to cut the pearl. So I asked John about CNC cutting the logo. His answer....No problem of course!!!!! Well I ordered a bunch and sent him all my headstock plates and he routed the channels to match!!!!! Perfect fit. Below is a sample. If anyone has a headstock logo or Nameplate, I highly recommend John W. for his CNC work.

Andy I like this logo better for two reasons. This line image is more interesting to the eye and it looks original. Not to be a nager, but your old logo was a lot like Rick Davis's Running Dog Guitar logo. This on the other hand way cool and very original. |

Thanks, I agree. My old logo was boring. To me this one is better. It could still be improved, but I like it. Johns work is perfect!!!! |

Awesome. I love the way the piece below the doggie's nose is seperate from the nose piece. Gives it some realism. it looks fantastic, from design to implementation. I'm sure glad to see John now has this capability. Some time ago I wanted to do this stuff with him, but his old cnc couldn't do it. I'll be returning as a customer, just as soon as I come out of retirement. |

John, how fine are you able to go with the cnc? Could it do this?

I really like this one Andy! Very professional looking. |

Wow, thanks everybody. Andy, I'm glad you like the logos. James, the only real hold up for any level of detail is the cutter size. I use cutters as small as .010", so it can get pretty fine. I'll PM you for some more details. |

John, Your work and services seem to be growing and the inlay work is great. Could you PM me with your inlay pricing and what you need from me. Also, looking at your fingerboards, something pretty new as well, are you contemplating any OLF group buy deals similar to your neck offering in the future? This would be on the radiused and slotted. Great job and appreciate your quality work Mike White Oak, Texas |
