Vibrola "lyre" logo etched onto a plain cover...

...and other plans.

I just got a well worn 1970 SG carcass that I'm planning to populate with parts (that's for another thread). Rather than cough up lots of money for a vinage Vibrola, I bought a couple Allparts units, and the seen to be really nice quality. Only problem, that glaring plain-jane cover.

I got hooked up with a local etching guy, but he nor I can seem to find the "artwork" he needs for that lyre image. I have a Gibson cover, but he can't seem to get the image digitized and useful. So first question...anybody seen a good black & white tracing of that image online? Maybe I'll need to get someone to draw it?

Another idea is to go with something different...Elliot did the tiki-man, so what the heck. A few ideas...

Chi-Rho

Pink Floyd prism

Yes, Aerosmith, Stones, Grateful Dead

Any other cool ideas?

Thanks.

Pmail me if you're stuck and I'd be happy to do a tracing for you.
