Thingamatar Label

I had been calling an earlier guitar construction my "thingamatar". It was just a name I gave it because I didn't know what else to call it. It's a strange combination between an electric guitar and something called a Tahitian ukulele, which is not really a ukulele at all, and is more akin to a banjo made of wood.

Anyway, my friend Jeff told me recently that he liked the name of that guitar as much as he liked the guitar. So, I thought I'd adopt it as my "brand name". From now on, whatever guitars I make will be called Thingamatar, each one having its own designation. In this case, Radio Jazz Box.

Here is the label for the inside in place waiting to be glued down.



I simply printed it out on gold/brown paper and cut it out. I coated the back with glue and pressed it down in place using some wax paper to prevent mess spreading from my fingers.

 And, voila! My guitar has a label that will be visible through the lower sound hole. That Michael Gallant guy on the label? Yeah, that's me.

The top has been set temporarily in place to get a sneaky looking pic of the label, as it will appear when done.
