Re: Gibson Logo dimensions?

I'd take a tape measure to your local guitar store and measure for yourself.

Why not put your own name on the headstock?

Sorry, b-squared, but I don't see the big deal in answering this guy's question. And if Gibson wants to drag me into court for being an accessory to...whatever...that's ok with me.

Collin, the logo is 1 17/32 inches wide...just a hair over 1 1/2 inches.

BTW, here's a little trick you can do with that decal. Buy yourself a blank piece of mother of pearl a little wider than the decal (it shouldn't cost much more than $7 - $10. You can then inlay this blank into the headstock as is, or cut out a shape roughly like the Gibson logo, but a bit larger (and with much less detail). Then put the decal on the MOP and shoot the whole headstock with black lacquer. In about 20 - 30 minutes, carefully peel off the decal, and you're left with what looks just like a MOP Gibson logo! (don't tell anybody where you heard this from, though)
