Sorry doc, I had this vision a while back but no means to put it into action. If it were possible I'd a satin bronze headstock shape, black Eagle with moon in the background being abalone, and the quarter of the moon being red abalone or similar. A small PRS or Pauls signature or forum ref etched where the TRC meets the nut would finish it off for me. I am sure this would be too cost prohibitive and there'd probably be too much going on for most.Quote:

The word official takes away from the classy aspect IMO. Plus, this might be hitting enough points to satisfy a majority of us, but still be a little too involved for the fakes to flood eBay with copies overnight.Quote:

Using this graphic and making a leftie version presents it's own problems...

I wish there was some way I could un-see that.. Please make it stop... Or I'll get even, I swear I willQuote:

I'm right-handed, but I've been thinking about the leftie issue. I'll put my first trial run up as an avatar in a second to see what everybody thinks.
I tried to get the f-hole in the right spot. The text size can be adjusted. All of it can be for that matter.

All lefties should play righty like I do. :D
As far as that headstock video of the crotch area that keeps coming at you.....no..you can't "un-see something". It is now stuck. But we WILL get even. We WILL. You should have provided a link with a warning. That was not for the unexpected, or otherwise unprepared. :o
This would work for rightie or leftie:Quote:

I'm liking the f-hole in approximately the correct place on the guitar...
This also has the advantage that PRS could drop the 'orum' text and use the TRC on a production guitar. One tooling + multi uses = lower cost!
Many thanks. Bigger and cleaner. And the image could be centered in the cover, but I was concerned with the image itself and didn't do that. OR just leave the guitar line centered. Whatever.Quote:

Just my 1 cent.
I'm liking all the ideas.
Don't try to please everyone with a single design. In the end it won't please anyone. Design by committee SUCKS. But a few days of sharing ideas and tossing around designs is a good thing. In the end there will be a few concepts that will emerge as favorites and we can build a final design from there.
Keep 'em coming.
If you read my post above (post 75), you see that I have already raised this issue.Quote:

They already have it on several t-shirts. it is only a matter of time until they put it on a TRC.
The word 'forum' differentiates us enough, and I don't believe the company would ever put a TRC with the word 'forum' on it on a production guitar unless it was a special production run for us.
Giving them options to decrease their tooling costs not only makes it less expensive for us, but makes it more likely to actually happen.
