Alan Brason Strat Decals

[stevend]

Hi, first let me say, I am not posting this for it to end up as a fake fender post, not really interested in how, when or why someone added the Fender decal, I am looking for info on Alans Decals

I have found two versions so far, but I am not sure if these are produced by the owners, or if added by Alan Brason

I have recently had this Fiesta Red guitar come into my ownership, I am told its an Alan Brason, I do know, that it was probably supplied by Alan without the Fender decal, unless its a Fender body etc, which as yet I do not know.... I am considering removing this Fender decal and adding a Brason one, but I am having a few issues finding exactly what the decal was like which he added to his guitars

This is the Guitar I have, would prefer to have it labelled correctly..

What do you think, have any of you got Brason Decals, Can you help

When I asked above if anyone has Brason Decals, I didn't particularly mean that you could send or sell to me, but that would be super

I actually mean, if you have a Brason decal on your guitar, could you photograph it and maybe message me, I would like as clear a photo as possible to make one of my own

Hi Steven,
I have a Alan Brason Strat purchased direct from Alan in 2013, mine was fully custom built to my spec, It has the larger decal "Alan Brason custom guitars" on the head stock
I dont know if the single line smaller decal was on earlier builds, so there may be two ? but as I said mine has the larger one.

Best wishes

Hi Kay, 

I do like the larger decal, underlined with the Custom Guitars, looks great

Would you be able to take a good close photo of the Decal with a phone or camera and send me by email, or maybe FB Messenger

You will find me on FB if you just search my blog page  "myGuitarStuff"

I posted photos of the guitar onto my page, so you will see that its me

Hi Steven,
I will do my best, although it may not be today,there are a lot of members on here with AB guitars and although Alan retired about 5 years
or so ago ,he one of the most amicable guys ever ,perhaps you could either e mail him or infact phone him and he will almost certainly tell you if the "old type is real or not, and if yours is a genuine one he might sell you the Logo, one way of telling is to remove the neck, and in the neck pocket on the body of the guitar will be the customers name he writes it in there.
but i will see what i can do with the piccy's
best wishes

Hi Kay

The previous owner did contact Alan, he has confirmed, but unfortunately he had no decals, I have copies of the email correspondence with Alan

Didn't want to bother him with the same questions about the same guitar, so will just make one for it, I just need a best available photo, or photos, so that I can get the best decal I can from it

hi I tried to get a Alan brason decal from the man himself maybe 2 to 3 years ago .
, he had a search around his stock , and sadly was unable to find one...........but good luck anyway,, as you say, he is a really kind and helpful man and if he can help I am sure he will

[stevend]

HI, I know he hasn't got any, its easy to see in the email conversation that Alan had with the previous owner of the guitar

If I can get a very clear photo of a decal, I will print myself one, its a little awkward because of the gold behind the black edging line, but not impossible, and will be an interesting process

Did you ever add a decal, or is the headstock still blank ?
