About 20 maybe 24 fonts. I think I would use them again. They do nice work. It would be kinda cool if you could inports jpgs into there software but thats nit picky.

Nice. I'd like to import a graphic of some sort...but nothing too convoluted. I'll consider them for the next time. BNP Lasers is an option I've considered, but I need to do the design work and I don't have the software for that. Joe over at Amplates.com is cool and did a good job on the plates for the first amp, so there's always that for next time too...

Amplates.com looks cool. I see that guy over at 18watt too. I think that I am going to get some of thse nameplates made by him some time. Something to hang on the front of amps.

I recommend him...he basically does the graphic design stuff and then just uses BNP Lasers, but Joe is super cool to deal with, and does good work...

I'll second that. I've done three sets of faceplates and backplates with Joe Vallina, and he understands because he's a builder too. He has both plastic and aluminum and I've used both. He has fonts, but I have my own and sent it to him.

In fact just yesterday I received the third set, which also includes a nameplate too, all in a plexi-like material engraved in reverse on the back, then painted to show thru the front. Looks awesome in silver w/white lettering, to match my silver tolex head.

All 3 pieces, $113 delivered.
