I'm specifically looking for a badge from one of the Silverface lookalikes Guyatone made in the late 60s or 70s, like the one below. Or if you know where I can get one for a reasonable price, please let me know. — Old punks never die... They just become surf rockers. Last edited: Nov 05, 2013 21:07:05 Top

I don't need one that badly, but I just thought that however unlikely, there would still be a better chance for me to find one on SG101 than anywhere else — Old punks never die...

Good luck ! Top

But the problem is I don't have access to an original badge. I was thinking that if all else failed I could perhaps try to carve an approximation of the logo from a bar of plaster, or maybe wax, then make a mould of that and cast with a 2 part resin. But I'm not sure I want to put that much effort into it to be honest. When your gear bench starts to look like a sculptor's studio, then maybe you're overdoing it — Old punks never die...
