Description

Authentic Original Vintage Old-Stock 1960's
Fender DUO-SONIC II Guitar Decal
Silkscreened Waterslide
NOS New Old-Stock
This listing is for one original genuine old-stock Fender waterslide decal for the Fender "Duo-Sonic II" Guitar.
As noted below, this decal was produced during the 1960’s, and while it has no backside print,
we believe it was printed in Los Angeles CA. by the Meyercord company.
Fender logo measures at 45mm as shown.
This is a “face -up” decal.
U.S. Patent numbers 2,573,254 and 2,960,900 and Design Patent number 169,062 are included in the decal’s text.
The noted patents date to: 1951, 1960, and 1953.
Condition is as shown in the first photograph.
This is the design the buyer will receive.
The Fender decals we are offering have been privately archived for nearly 40 years.
(since about 1980), and we are pleased to offer them to
serious collectors & restorers who need correct decals for their important restorations.
At the time this decal was packed away,
the screen print shop which had been active in the Los Angeles area for several decades
was going through a consolidation with another shop at a larger location.
The owners didn’t want to pay to move all their old files to the new location,
so to the landfill it all goes…
literally tons of vintage files were destroyed.
Luckily, an artist in that first shop, saved some of the shop’s historic work…
a small percentage, including a handful of various Fender samples,
was rescued for posterity and has been carefully stored ever since.
Before listing, we asked a local guitar expert to look at these Fender pieces.
He checked his resources
and confirmed that they are all correct (of course!).
He also noted that the “face up” decals are all 1960’s  (pre 1970’s) production,
and that The “face down” decals were all produced in the 1970’s.
Given the rarity of these decals, we highly recommend that you have a professional restorer properly install your decal.
This is not a simple DYI project, and the quality of the finished job depends on the skill and experience of the installer.
