Where do you guys get those little branding irons made with your name, logo, etc to stamp the center strip inside the soundhole? I'd love to get one for my builds.

Thanks!

Thanka a bunch guys, the links are exactly what I was looking for!

I'm thinking of going with the fire heated one, it it easy to get repeatable results when heating the iron with, say, a torch?

I bet a torch would take a fair amount of time to head up hot enough, I know plugging it in takes a good 10 mins....
