Default Guitar Branded Face Masks

I have started to accept wearing facemasks is a part of life for now, and am treating them like T-shirts, having different ones with a car brand, a sports team, star wars, a rock band, etc..

I would love to find some with guitar brands/logos on them, like Taylor, Martin, Lowden, Fender, etc..
Anybody seen anything like that anywhere?

No, I haven’t, but it’s a good idea.

There are things out there but some are a bit on the pricey side

Mask are a real hassle but I'm afraid they are going to be around a bit longer. So why not have some fun with it.

Great idea, I will be looking for something along to lines.

Awesome

I saw a guy with a pretty cool image of a guitar on his face mask and - from 6 feet away, of course - I asked him where he got it. He said he bought it on Zazzle. I guess they print custom images on masks just like they do on t-shirts. I'm also surprised the larger guitar manufacturers have jumped on logo face masks yet. There's a lot of money in merchandising.

Two thoughts:

From this side of the Atlantic, news coverage would seem to show that mask wearing is a very contentious issue in the US. Corporations tend to shy away from aligning themselves with contentious issues (unless the profit level is high enough!).

Secondly, and I’m sure the most likely reason, is that all these manufacturers have had long closures and are now trying to play catch up while operating under very different manufacturing conditions to those they are used to. I suspect that new merchandising opportunities are fairly low in their order of priorities at the moment. In fact, Chris Martin, in a recent interview, indicated that even R&D projects were on hold until manufacturing was back on track.

Regards,
Clive.

Thalia Capo's makes a few really cool ones. Not brands per say, but inlay based ones.

It's a great idea but not for me. I'm just not willing to spend a premium on face masks.

Gibson facemasks are inconsistent.

Martin facemasks are NOT individually sewn by hand!

Taylor innovative facemasks solve all the problems that stodgy old other facemask makers have failed to address.

Eastwood facemasks are every bit as good as any facemasks made in the USA!!!

Lowden facemasks are best for Celtic-style breathing.

And Zager facemasks are the easiest to breathe with...
