SG/Firebird Vibrola Engraving

Hello everyone! I wonder if someone can scan the plate with lyre on their vibrola and post it here in actual size. I've got an allparts vibrola and I want to engrave it with lyre. I think this picture would be useful for a lot of people!

If you're that adventurous to do your own engraving, why not go with your own design?

Re: SG/Firebird Vibrola Engraving

I want to do the original engraving and then add something personal. And it is much more cheap than buying an original cover.=)

A scan isn't going to help you engrave it, you would need a high-resolution vectorized image of the graphic if you planned to take it somewhere and have it done. Otherwise any old picture of a guitar with the vibrato will work since it'll have to be estimated and traced.

Right! I need a scan just to do the accurate measurements to do a vector image. The problem of any picture of the vibrola on web is that it is pictured in different foreshortenings and I can't do the accurate measurements.
