It's funny, after almost 25 years of playing lefty, It's only recently that I realized why the Fender logo on the headstock my basses never looked as cool as the one apposed onto the right handed models. Obviously, the logo on a lefty is read from the tip of the headstock toward the neck but was designed to be read from the neck toward the tip thus following the headstock's outline. :lol:
Musicman did a much better job adjusting their logo to the lefty headstocks. I think we all agree that Musicman is a much more lefty-friendly company anyway.

I confess to having spent significant time working with lefty/righty versions of my logo to match my headstock, with the intent of having a logo that looked identical no matter the headstock to the casual eye. After many versions I ended up finding it necessary to have four different logos (and four different negative proof sheets), each being specific to a lefty/righty 4/5 version of my headstock.

thankfully the finish shop hasn't mixed any up yet when they apply the logo under the finish coat :)

all the best,

R

Most of my Fenders just say "FENDER" on the decal. They cut off the full decal with the model name etc so the logo can be centered I guess.
