Have you tried reading a label through a lute rose?

I've never even seen a lute (in person that is). Yes, it would be difficult and I would suspect out of place for sure there.

Here's a simple one, made in Illustrator, with a home made stamp, printed on some heavy paper.

[QUOTE=Colin S] Can I just make a statement on behalf of the "Don't stick a bit of paper in your guitar" party? One of the reasons I like old Martins, they just stamp the model and serial number on the neck block. I don't mind classicals with labels, as long as they are simple plain statements of fact like Michael's or Todd's, but steel strings, no thanks. Just me being grumpy.

Colin[/QUOTE]

And I'm in the "Don't stick your name on the headstock" party. Though I don't mind this on a steel string.

I've always been tempted to make myself a guitar with no label.

Have y'all seen Francisco Simplicio's labels? Check it out.jfrench39080.8236111111

I really like everyone's labels
Can I add mine too
Its my second guitar, and the first one i didn't feel embarrassed about owning up to..haha
And i just finished it.
So it got a label.


Its a flamenco guitar hence the spanish for a bit of fun.
I like the simplicity of the spanish makers labels.
I did mine on acid free textured art paper.
And i just printed it at home using publisher and a laser printer

Nice label Claire... Oh! And "welcome" to the OLF...

Hey Gary Lee, you're the only guitar builder I know of who has locations in two cities!
