Where the guitar ends, the roots begin.

Put this guitar decal on a notebook or a laptop and it tells people where your playing comes from: a coral guitar stands upright in a round badge while pale roots spread out beneath it. Rooted Guitar Sunrise belongs with players, students and teachers who still remember their first chords, and it travels well inside a card to a bandmate.

The art: a guitar that put down roots

One guitar stands at the center, neck up. Its body is coral red with two rounded horns, a cream pickguard, a round sound hole, a bridge and three small control knobs. The neck is dark with thin fret lines, and the coral headstock at the top holds six tuning pegs, three on each side.

Behind the guitar sits a circle with a thin cream ring. Its upper part is a muted teal sky with four small cream clouds and a scatter of dots; its lower part is a sand-yellow band, like the ground at first light. From under the body, cream roots branch out and down past the circle, just as they would beneath a tree. Short thin lines and two small yellow dots finish the sides.

Two words in fat, rounded cream capitals arch over the top, with the headstock rising in front of them. The whole badge rests on a very dark charcoal square and is drawn flat, in a retro style with only a handful of colors. The thought behind it is simple: what you play today grew out of everything you heard first.

The practical side of this guitar decal

• The shape is a square with rounded corners, and the charcoal background meets a white kiss-cut border on every side
• Because the vinyl is high-opacity, a sticker placed over an old logo or a marked-up cover leaves only the guitar on view
• Lays down quickly, with a bubble-free result
• The vinyl is the durable kind, chosen for stickers that see regular use
• One step of prep: clean the surface before the sticker goes on

Who it's for

Guitar players at any stage, students working through a first chord chart, teachers, bandmates and the relative who handed down an old six-string. Ideas for a home: a notebook of song ideas, a laptop lid, a practice-room shelf or the cover of a music binder. Slip one into a card after a first gig, when a term of lessons wraps up, for a bandmate’s birthday or when someone leaves for music school.

Quick answers

Do all four options print the same square?

Yes. The 3″×3″, 4″×4″ and 5.5″×5.5″ options are filled border to border, at about 3, 4 and 5½ inches across. The 15″×3.75″ option also prints one square, about 3¾ inches (9.5 cm) across, in the middle of its sheet.

How is the guitar drawn?

One coral-red cartoon guitar stands neck up in the middle of the badge, drawn as a simple, friendly shape so the eye goes straight to the roots growing beneath it.

What do the roots mean?

They stand for where your playing started: a first teacher, the family record shelf, the songs you worked out by ear. The details are yours to fill in.

Can I put it on my guitar?

That is your call. It is an adhesive vinyl sticker, and we can’t say how it will behave on an instrument’s finish over time. A notebook, a laptop or a hard case is the safer choice, on a clean, dry, indoor surface.
