Oh boy!
I'm pretty sure they've already had their hands slapped a couple times if I remember correctly.

Oh, I didn't know that. I was actually just looking for a place that did custom waterslide headstock decals for a friends Warmoth when I ran into that. I figured I should bring it to the boards (Wonderdog?) attention.

 

[beej]

Oy. This is a job for Wonderdog.

 

[Danserrano]

wow they even sell sig decals.....def a job for the wonderdog

 

[agt]

The fact that they are doing that is so, so lame ... no shame, no integrity, no respect.

You go, Wonderdog!

 

[Ernieballplayer]

slap em' hard!

 

[Big Poppa]

thanks

 

[sickindian]

Thats not all i've seen some of them on evilbay as well.

 

[e.mate]

oh boy....I didn't believe they still dare to do that

Making counterfeit decals is shameless, respectless....and brainless. They could create own designs for whatever guitar project builders want...why not give a project an own original look to wear instead of a cheap prentend-to-be copy. I don't get it

You know, they very carefully do not list any information that would show a physical location. Also the domain name registration is by proxy and does not show an address for the company. I am trying to track them down.

[GHWelles]

Yes, that domains by Proxy is to keep the registrant's name and address hidden. I am pursuing other ideas. I have also contacted the U.S. Attorney General's Office in Los Angeles. Clearly they are keeping their location hidden because they know they are breaking the law.

 

[ProtoChicken]

Since they offer custom decals could you email them and ask where to send the design you want made into a decal?

 

[brasco68]

To narrow it down a bit I found out that they are in Central Standard Time Zone.

Here is a passage from their website regarding hours of operation:

Q: What are your office hours?
A: We are open 9-5pm, Monday through Friday, CST. We do not work on weekends or national holidays.

Oh yeah...Get 'Em Wonderdog!
