Yeah, the single sheet idea (which I stole from Serge T. -- obvious why one
would do this given the state of graphics in the early eighties and the cost
of color reproductions) is a pretty good, "one size fits all," solution.
My thought being, the method that cuts the "Fender" logo for the decals that
go on the machine heads of their guitars, could easily cut decals for dial
indicators and the like. Unfortunately, no one I've talked to seems to know
how those decals are made.

BTW, Steve, I think a lot of people are buying blanks to do their own custom
front panels or multiples. Hence, our interest in getting similar MOTM style
panel markings.
