Crispy try http://www.contagiousgraphics.com
They do screen printing, which I imagine would be the process for that.
And they're in Charlotte, or maybe they could recommend somebody closer.
Wow, I really love the looks of those 63 Saturns, hope I win!!

Sorry for the Thread derail, but slightly on topic.
What are the good places to get yer grub on for eats around there?
Brefeses(aka Breakfast) lunch, and dinner.
Any Diners, Drive ins, or Dives, like on the TV show?
Or places that Adam from Man Vs. Food has been to in that area?
I am planning on going on a diet soon,
So this trip will be my last horah.

carolina brewery is practically next door. good micro brews and good food (seafood, burgers, ribs, etc). there's another place on the street right behind the cave that has home style cooking that's pretty decent also (can't remember the name of it)

Crispy,
I have looked into this particular place for pickguards numerous times. You might give them a try. I know they will cut custom guards and put artwork on them.
BTW, those Eastwood Saturns have always intrigued me. I certainly hope you are going to have it out for people to play.

I went here last year, and really liked it. I plan on going back at LEAST once. I'm a sucker for a good brewery!
Getting closer and closer!!

I haven't been there, but I've heard of it.

Mama Dips definitely has a "name" in CH for southern/soul food, but for my money, I prefer Breadman's just down the street. Breakfast anytime, blue-plate specials, and their open-face roast beef sandwich with a Bass Ale on-tap is my favorite.
http://www.breadmens.com/
Also not to be missed, and literally behind The Cave (and a few doors down on Rosemary Street) is Fuse. The menu is hard to describe... favorites of mine are the Gogi Hoagie (korean style beef on foccacia bread with an egg on top... sounds weird... tastes AMAZING) and their rosemary talapia. Their menu looks/sounds very haute-cuisine, but with "pub grub" prices. They also cater to the late night crowd, serving food till 2:00 am

Definitely no shortage of good eats within walking distance!

This food talk during work hours is pure torture. It really stinks living in an area that has no really great restraunts. Just to have an irish pub that served food would be so nice right about now.

And they're in Charlotte, or maybe they could recommend somebody closer.
Screen printing was my initial thought, too. Maybe I could get one of the local shops, like the Merch to knock it out for me. First, I'll have to see what Death-Ray Design comes up with for our logo this time.
BTW, those Eastwood Saturns have always intrigued me. I certainly hope you are going to have it out for people to play.
We'll have it out for display at the very least. Playing it will depend on how many PBR's you may have imbibed before asking! But yeah, I'm with you--I've never played one of these Eastwoods (although I have played an original Hopf Saturn) and I'm quite eager to try it out once it arrives. I plan on putting together a little Youtube video about the guitar, with some of my buddies taking it for a spin, to help pimp the raffle.
Any Diners, Drive ins, or Dives, like on the TV show?
Or places that Adam from Man Vs. Food has been to in that area?
Murph mentioned the goodest and the closest, (and he's dead-on--Fuse food KILLS!) but just down the road at University Plaza is Time Out, Chapel Hill's last true food dive. 24 hour fried chicken, biscuits and burgers, and, after 1am, a very entertaining crowd of diners. Newbie warning though: Eat more than two pieces of chicken in one sitting, and you're on your own.
--Crispy
PS--and, of course, we'll simply have to get BTD over to some gen-yoo-wine Carolina BBQ once he's here. Maybe we could have an impromptu set at Allen & Sons!

Coupla quick comments:
1) Crispy, my buddy Jud (who did the KF surfboard magnets for us) can actually ETCH whatever graphic/logo you want on the pick guard. He could etch a reverse image on the bottom side of the clear pick guard for one of those "how the heck did they do that?" effects.
2) It's not surprising that my first visit to both Fuse and Time Out were with Crispy... the man knows his chow! I also heeded his advice and only got two pieces of chicken. LOL My memories from that 2:00 a.m. meal at Time Out include a really drunk co-ed in a fancy party-dress and a table full of policemen. (There's a punchline in there somewhere, but I don't remember the details... maybe Crispy does?)

By chance, would anyone know of someone in or around Chapel Hill that could put 6 southern gentlemen up for that Sunday night? We come with our own air matresses and a very gracious attitude.

Cool man!
You should try the Village Cafe in Richmond http://www.villagecafeonline.com/, it was on Diners and Drive Inns once. I'm hoping to make that show as well. Hit me up with a text when you're down there and I can try to meet you there.

BTD, the chicken at Time Out is huge, hot and delicious, but on the greasy side. Folks who that have never been there before and eat more than two pieces often end up uh, "sending it back", if you know what I mean! That said, the Atomic Mosquitos knocked back a whole mess o' Time Out chicken on their first visit, and didn't so much as burp. I respected them before, but now I hold them in awe.
