Custom Fretboard Decals
Who makes custom fretboard decals? I usually use Carter starter fretboards but I want to start using my own design for my guitars from now on! I use a 24" scale, the width at the nut is 2 11/16" and the width towards the changer end is 3 1/4".
Guitar Built by me!

When I built a steel about 1970. Could not find fretboards.
Here is what I used. I cut thin plexi-glass to fit neck and laid it on a fret board, Used masking tape. Laid out diamonds for markers. Then sprayed it with white, then taped the edges and sprayed black, All paint was done on the bottom so the plexi-glass protected the paint. They have been around for 50+ years and still look good.
You could use what ever for fret markers under the plastic.
