Another idea I like is buying a repro 60s decal set with the corporate logo in silver instead of gold, Mojocaster instead of Stratocaster, and "Lefty Phillips Special" instead of "Original Contoured Body"

I could even leave the headstock blank, but that would look off, wouldn't it? I know some might object to the borderline trademark infringement, as I usually do, myself. But, it's a vintage decal, and that's a whole lotta vibe to pass up on. Free. So, yeah...
