Silkscreen "Les Paul MODEL"

For the serious repair job we offer a custom made SILKSCREEN for reproducing the vintage correct and embossed "Les Paul Model" imprint to the headstock after doing a refinish or similiar.
No decal-gimmicks, just the real stuff.

We now offer the silkscreen as a set:
- the "real" silkscreen (comes in a 6mm birch multiply frame as shown)
- PLUS a sheet of aluminium composite panel with black colored surface for doing
   testprints: excellent "NC-lacquer-fake" surface for training the silkscreen process

Use any rubber squeegee and (oil based) gold Charbonnel etching ink with a drop of Japan dryer for doing the "print", this ink you can find here.

Silkscreen-printing is easy, but you need to get a feeling for this for getting sharp outlines of the letters: if you are not satisfied with your printing-result on the headstock just wipe off the wet ink with turpentine (what is NC lacquer-safe), let dry and do it again, you cannot do wrong.

Clean screen instantly after usage, otherwise the mesh will clog; for cleaning use turpentine (avoid acetone or nitro, it may interact with the mesh material).

We sometimes offer B-grade silkscreens at a discounted price, these are technically fully working, but leak of an issue and does not fullfil our standard. Check for availability here.
